Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine (http://research.pandasecurity.com/panda-usb-and-autorun-vaccine/) - $0.00 without any snake-oil included
USB Guardian (http://www.usb-guardian.com/) - $0.00 including a bit of snake oil

hey it blocks autorun.inf without paid version..only for advanced functions u need to buy it.i didnt know of panda and snake oils before ::)
u forgot the main objective of the post..Avast shows a legit software as malware...and tat must be corrected because they say a single avast virus definition can detect 1000s of viruses, so it may be possible tat a single false positive may cause much more problems
btw wats snake oil??? ;D :D

If you go to the chest and right-click on the quarantined sample, you can submit it to avast as false positive.
Snake oil: 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil_(cryptography)), 2 (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snake%20oil) :P
