Antivirus available for Flash Drives

Yes, there is am portable antivirus software that you can store on removable media like USB or pen drive or even your CD-ROM. Make sure you have it write protected and you can use it to clean your USB or pen drive once its infected.

You can try and get your hands on ClamWin; It’s one of the most popular portable antivirus software and has a very simple user interface – saves you all the confusion and it’s easy to navigate. It requires about 20 MB of your drive to work and you can download it for free.

However, ClamWin does not have on-access real time scanner – So you have to manually scan a file in order to use it.
