How To Set Portable Antivirus Automatic Detect Removable Drive and Scan It ?

By having this settings, your computer is somehow safe from the virus that infected your removable drive from entering your computer system.

First of all,you have to download Portable Antivirus.


Then open up Portable Antivirus configuration settings. Under "Scanning Options", checked "automatic detect removable drive when user plugged-in".


Done. So, everytime you plugg-in any removable drive you will get a message just like the picture below :-


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not see other anti-virus have the settings to automatic detect removable drive and scan. If you're using other antivirus,when you plugg-in any USB drive just simply right-click on the USB Drive and choose "Scan with..." option to scan.

It is a best practice to always scan your removable drive before open and explore the files inside.
