There is also this free program when you have to start up from usb to perform a emergency repair:

One to protect your USB with is this free Mexican av solution:

Mx One is an antivirus designed to protect the removable storage devices like USB stick,
Maybe avast will ask you first to run it inside a sandbox, but you can allow that,
