What is antivirus software for scanning thumbdrive which is used on oter computers?

Any virus software can do that.



1. insert the thumbdrive in a USB port. If anything pops up (autorun) just press the Esc key and do not allow anything to run from that drive.



2. Click Start %26gt; My computer and look for the thumbdrive letter.



3. Right click on the thumbdrive and look for any option such as ''Scan with '''''''''''' anti virus'' in the context menu. There should be something like that.



If there's not contect menu option, open the main/control window of your AV software and start a manual scan by selecting the drive.



If your AV software detects any virus, I recommend that you run a full system scan, just for the peace of mind.
