			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Panda Security has released a new security software program that increases the security of usb flash drives. The portable software program called <a href="http://research.pandasecurity.com/archive/Panda-USB-and-AutoRun-Vaccine.aspx">USB Vaccine</a> provides the means to vaccinate both the computer system and usb flash drives.</p>
<p>Computer vaccination referring to disabling autorun completely from removable media like usb flash drives or optical drives like CDs or DVD drives. To enable the protection of the computer system from programs that are auto-executed if usb flash drives or CDs or DVDs are inserted into the computer drives.</p>
<p>A click on vaccinate computer will immediately disable autorun on the computer system. The USB drive vaccination option on the other hand will disable autorun from selected usb flash drives. The drives have to be connected to the computer system before the computer can be protected. Every connected usb flash drive will be listed in a pulldown menu. A click on vaccinate usb will prevent autorun from being executed from that usb flash drive.</p>
<p>It should be noted that it is not possible to undo the autorun protection of a selected usb flash drive in the computer system using the security software. Another limitation is that it will only work on usb flash drives that have been formatted with the FAT or FAT32 file system.</p>
