digip Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 What OS was he putting it into, because the Autorun feature does not work in newer Windows machines and the feature for it is disabled by default now. XP Machines, unless the setting is changed in the registry, should still run it. The reason is he probably has a custom U3 partition on there set to run the tool on insert. Similar to the switchblade/hacksaw payloads. (go to the USB hacks section of the forums) A winPE install would be used for booting off it, not for autorun features.

Remotesh Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) i saw a guy installing anti-virus downloaded 4m net into his pendrive(sandisk) &whnever &wherever he inserted the pendrive inside any pc the anti-virus would automatically run,scan,remove virus if its in pendrive & also blocks it 4m entering the same.i think the file was 4m sandisk site i.e. u3 utility tht it provides...i tried2install anti-virus in my pendrive(not sandisk) but it didnt worked...should i hav2install winPE & all those procedures lyk u said in multibootable USB episode.pls rply Can you ask the question a little bit clearer? What I got from all that, is that a friend installed an antivirus onto his pendrive, and it auto runs and removes virus when he inserts it. However onn most newer machines now a days the autorun feature is enabled by default so that doesn't really work on newer operating systems. But a majority of machines still use xp to this day, so I would suggest try it on a windows xp machine to see if your install works. Here is a list of alternatives that you can try. http://www.pendriveapps.com/software/portable-antivirus-firewall/ I myself use Avast and ClamWin when dealing with an infected computer. -Remotesh Edited May 28, 2011 by Remotesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
