It was yesterday when I got some data transferred in my pen drive at my College that made me think that I need to Write Protect my pen drive. I just put the drive in a system for about 10 seconds and there were about 7 different types of viruses in my Pen Drive (really college systems sucks). It is so irritating to always scan the drive to remove the viruses that also consumes our important time. So I got something to share with you guys “How you can Write Protect your Pen Drive” or “How you can prevent your pen drive from getting infected”.

If you place an Autorun.inf file in the root folder of a CD or DVD and the Autorun.inf file contains an OPEN command pointing to a program file (e.g. OPEN=MYAPP.EXE), the program is launched automatically when you insert the CD/DVD in a drive. But if you place the same Autorun.inf file and program file in a USB flash drive and plug the drive to a USB port in a computer, the program is very likely not started automatically. Instead is a Windows menu shown, that contains a list of actions (commands) you can do on the USB drive.

Influenza B is another type of influenza. Influenza B viruses tend to change less often than influenza A viruses. However, like influenza A, the potential occurrence of influenza B in Wisconsin cannot be predicted. It may occur at the same time as influenza A is occurring throughout the state, or cases may occur in the state before or after reported cases of influenza A. An influenza B virus is always included in the annual vaccine, so anyone who received a flu shot this year would have protection against influenza B as well.
