USB drive

How do I run an antivirus program to check a usb flash drive???

[Alboguy]

Pretty simple! Scan it via contextual menu.

Some antivirus has the capability of auto scanning USB flash drives whenever it is plugged in.
But you can manually do that via context menu, right click on the drive and select Scan.

Avast also has a specific Removable Media scan category. A Guy

Namely Bitdefender and Kaspersky has this option. Most of the time, the contextual scan will suffice or atleast if you have forgotten to check it, your av realtime module is design to KO any malware, whether it's in passive/reactive state.

Emsisoft and Sunbelt VIPRE too. I am Kaspersky user. I tweak custom scan (also used for flash scan) to highest settings for better detection (be careful, might also cause FPs). Personally, I prefer context menu scan as it is flexible and can be done as per requirement.

moreover , as i know even if its infected when u actually open it ,Av ( i know atleast My Av norton) scans all folder automatically and catches malware ... so no need to manual scan if you are not opening it ... if youu are its done automatically

Avg has that option too .
