Along with the increasingly widespread use of flash disks spread of the virus with the offline mechanisms indicate a higher intensity, particularly in Indonesia. The virus from domestic manufacturers more creative in designing a virus with certain tricks to speed up the spread of the virus that they created.
At first the virus will only put the files in the form of a virus program into storage, so each time you connect the flash disk into the computer is infected, the virus will place the folders / files to the flash disk viruses without known owners. This trick sooner or later become easy to detect and suspicious files that can easily be removed by the owner directly.
Then came the name of social engineering techniques (social engineering) where the virus is inserted into the flash disk becomes more difficult to identify by imitating / making the same files and folders with pre-existing and hide the original file, or by creating a file or folder with the name the name that attracted the attention of users, all done with the expectation that users click on a file / folder so that the virus could be active and get into the victim computer.
How to spread a virus that is currently booming is to utilize the autorun feature available on the Windows operating system. This feature is actually really help us who want to directly open / playing files in the storage media immediately. But the virus makers see this feature as the fastest way to help spread the virus. By implanting a virus along with the autorun.inf file that has been written to run a virus file in the root directory of the flash disk, flash every time a user connects to a computer disk that his autorun feature activated, automatically run the virus directly.
To prevent virus spread with the help of autorun feature now you do not have to bother anymore, as did the steps a long and risky settings. Thanks to the portable application from PandaSecurity security company, you can have security on a USB-connected storage, such as Flash Disk in a few clicks only.
Free application called this Vaccine USB Panda (click here to download) have two ways to counteract the spread of the virus through storage media:
1. Computer Vaccination - this application will disable the autorun feature of the computer applying Windows operating system as a whole, so the program / virus that uses autorun.inf file and in the USB / CD / DVD will not be executed / executed automatically. But you can still restore these features to the original state.
2. Vaccination Drive - Virus now can no longer create the autorun.inf file to help its spread. This application will make a special autorun.inf file into the flash disk, where it has been designed so that files can not be replaced, edited, or deleted by the virus. Users also can not delete the file except by doing format.
For the current vaccination facility on a USB device is only valid on storage FAT & FAT32 format, but in the future these applications will be developed to support the NTFS format.
