Tips: 

ü  After Buying the Pen drives/Flash Drives/USB's/Memory Cards Format it.

ü  Scan the pen drive regularly with antivirus software

ü  Create a Folder with name AUTORUN.INF and press enter.

ü  Why we need to create the AUTORUN.INF folder means, the virus mainly contains notepad file with the name autorun.inf.

ü  So, if u create the folder with autorun.inf, the virus notepad file cannot enter into the Flash drive/Pen drive because already with that name a file is existed as created in the Pen Drive.
