To keep USB viruses from injecting themselves to your PC or laptop is to Disable the USB Autorun feature:
- Click the Start button, then Run and enter "gpedit.msc" without the quotes
- Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
- Scroll down to "Turn off Autoplay" and double click on it
- Click on the "Enabled" radio button, then for "Turn off Autoplay on" select "All drives"
just keep holding Shift when you insert a USB disk. It cancels the autorun.
Delete autorun.inf file in the usb drive if you suspect it is infected with virus.
