Re: Infected flash drive question

No, apparently it's possible to infect XP without direct user interaction.

The Panda tool mentioned helps because it gives a couple options. First, a flash drive can be "immunized" (by creating a protected autorun.inf file on the flash drive) from auto running anything and second, Panda's tool gives the option to a user to help protect their PCs from never-before-seen USB flash drives ("non-immunized") by blocking the autorun from ever running (even via an indirect method.)
