[QUOTE="PVA_BR, post: 211722, member: 17598"] Don't worry. It does not sound dumb. Let's go: Insert your thumbdrive. Close the AutoRun popup (or VLC player, if it open). Open Windows Explorer by holding the Windows Key + e . Now, right click the icon of the said thumbdrive. You should notice a context menu. Within it, there is an option to scan your drive with your Anti-Virus program. So, if it is infected, your AV program will warn you ;). It's just better change AutoPlay settings (so VLC will not open when You insert your thumbrive). To do so, follow the instructions bellow (taken from [url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-autoplay-settings#1TC=windows-7[/url]) How to change AutoPlay Settings Follow these steps to specify what should happen when you insert different types of digital media into your computer. [LIST=1] [*]Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button [IMG]http://res2.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33_818.jpg[/IMG], and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay. [*]Under Media, find the type of media that you want to change the AutoPlay setting for.
