YOU CAN STOP VIRUS ENTERING UR USB DRIVE

FRNDS If you have windows
XP with SP2,
then you can disable the
writing option to USB drives. WHAT IT WILL DO?
This trick is very useful if you
have virus in your computer
and want to copy files from a
USB Drive but don’t want to
transfer virus to the USB. STEPS to disable the USB
writing option: To edit the computer registry,
first you should log onto your
computer with administrative
rights. First click on Start button and
type “Regedit” in Run option. Here locate the location to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Control Here in right side panel, click
right to create a key with the
name “StorageDevicePolicies”. Now in left side panel, select
“StorageDevicePolicies” key,
again right click to create new
DWORD value then label it
“WriteProtect”. Set its value to
“1″. But again to enable writing, set its values to “0″.
THATS IT Now close the registry editor
and restart your computer
after any changes to go into
effect.
