An old dog needed to learn a new trick.

It is working now and I just tried it and it works.

This may seem like a stupid question.

Do you need the usb icon in the system tray or can you exit this, and when you place a usb into the computer it will automatically show if you have malware on the comp?

Do you have to have it running in system processes.

Yes. The monitoring requires the resident component to be loaded. If you exit you'll get no alert and any 'autorun.inf' will be allowed to run.

Hi Vladimyr

Thank you very much for your reply, as of now i will make sure resident component is running all the time.

It does not require me to install Firefox though.
