Protect removable drives from virus/malware
You don’t need a lot of time or knowledge to execute the few changes that Trend Micro suggests protecting your drive against the Autorun feature. To be able to do this, you must first format the drive using NTFS (if you haven’t already), because only this type of formatting allows you to execute the wanted procedure. Create inside the root directory of the drive a file or folder named Autorun.inf. As worms are known to bypass this simple solution by replacing the legitimate file with the malicious one, use file permissions and restrict possible changes.
