The AutoRun vulnerability is patched for USB drives from Windows POS Ready....
And you have VoodooShield, right? It will protect you even if you accidentally execute a bad file on USB.yes i know that and i enabled extension show from windows option to check also if there is double extension file which is almost virus
also i donot use usb unless in rarely case (burn windows iso for example)
Yes, mostly. That can depend on configuration. There are some methods that can use LOLBins to read/execute the malicious code embedded & encoded in the innocent file (as an array of bytes). If the LOLBin is not blocked in VoodooShield then it can be run via non-malicious command-line, for example via the shortcut.And you have VoodooShield, right?

HMPA does a lot of things. But it is hard to know how well it does them. Back when they used to test the ransomware protection, it didn't perform so great. That's just an example, I don't know if it reflects on the other modules or not. But the problem with exploit protection is that it can't really be tested effectively.For info, HitmanPro.Alert (paid) has a Bad USB module, which also covers USB connected keyboards and mice. Back when I was using it a few yrs. ago, the module had problems with impacting startup and going inactive unexpectedly. Now these issues don't seem so prevalent. Still, one needs to demo it.
By the way, did anyone see this on the HMP.A FAQ? Interesting. In fact, a few years ago, I only ran HMP.A plus the Windows firewall. Defender was disabled. No infections and I ran it like this for about 6 months. But then I became a wimp and turned it back on. Might as well, can't uninstall it anyway.

Hi guys ,
i want to know your opinion about the methods you take to harden your system against usb spreading virusus as you can see in my setup i take full control on windows firewall using Tinywall and create allow rules manually for my programs for real time protection i use Emsisoft with Vodooshield anti exe . for usb i disabled Autorun and Autoplay settings via control panel. is it enough?? is there any other windows customization for hardening or just this is enough ?? i don't want to add any other software for that purpose. it will be overkill action in my point of view. i want to know your thoughts

The problem with Bad-USB is a modified firmware in the USB stick. If you buy somewhere one, you doesn't know if it's already compromised and you can't verify that.I'm sorry, but maybe I don't understand the problem.
1) No USB of my property should be connected to the third party's PCs.
2) No third party USB must connect them to my pc
3) The USB is only used to transfer files between pc of my property
3) If someone has to transfer files he has to use direct links, email, cloud If someone has no alternative it is his problem
