    as far as I know
    Kaspersky is able to check and scan every external device, USB flash included.
    It is of course able to detect and remove all auturun viruses which are in its data base
    Kaspersky should be able to disable autorun in Windows O.S at your choice

    I have been using Kaspersky for a long time, now I use Avira or Eset NOD32

    KAV 2010 has usb scan option feature
    • Full-scan Option ( all files )
    • Quick Scan Option ( .exe only )
    • Do not scan
    It will prompt an alert notifying the user, once it detected a new usb device/flashdrive

    When I had KIS 2009 (now I have the 2010 version), I connected an USB flash drive which I previously used on a school computer. Kaspersky prompted an alert, saying that there was a Conflicter virus and immediately deleted the threat.

    So yes... Kaspersky is detecting autorun viruses.
