but panda usb vaccine is installed in my pc, not in pendrive.

do i need to install usb panda vaccine inside pendrive?

Yes, it is installed in your machine, but it asks you if you want to vaccinate your pendrive. The software also checks everytime a pendrive is inserted into your machine if it is clean.

You then insert the pendrive in your machine, which has the USB Vaccine as well as Avast installed…so you should be protected. Obviously to reduce your risk, I would tell you not to put your pendrive in another machine shared by others, but I understand why you need to.

if i protect my files of pendrive with password, then is it protected from viruses?

Or Just try Trustport USB Security 2011…

But… is there a way to fully uninstall Windows Defender on Windows 7?
You can disable it, but can you uninstall it?

18

Someone told me you can’t uninstall Windows Defender on Windows 7 because it part of the OS, or I could wrong and it would be too risky to try it on windows 7 :-\

19

Let me know how to un-install it. :slight_smile:

This is a discussion of protecting a pen drive not Windows Defender. :wink:
