The problem is that my family is at home and they want to connect a USB pendrive with Photos on my computer OMG.
Im pretty sure that that pendrive have a Virus, (I had to repair their computers in the past and that was terrible). Also they said that the pendrive was conected on a computer of a public photho shop, pffft.

recomended to use alongside avast

special USB protection program  http://amf.mycity.rs/mcshield/

it will scan when you connect.....when done you can right click the drive and scan it with avast

OBS and remeber no security program have 100% detection

Nah, I already did the job.
That was easy, mcshield detected the pendrive and scanned it, after that I used avast to scan too. The USB was clean (I hope).
I really hate connect unknown pendrives on my PC. I had problems with that in the past... I was mad but all looks ok. Thanks for the tips.
