Avira: scan USB sticks automatically?

How can I set Avira to automatically scan for viruses a USB stick when its inserted?

or at least to have a desktop shortcut to scan the remobavle drive with a single click.

thanks!

 

Avira does it automatically for me when I insert a Flash Stick.

Derivatives of Autorun is the most detected etc.

Cheers

 

oh well... how do I know if my Avira is doing it too?

I don't see anything on screen when plugging the USB stick...

 

Avira is up to date??

Cheers

 

I got:

Product version 8.2.0.337 18/11/2008
Search engine 8.02.00.105 05/03/2009
Virus definition file 7.01.02.134 06/03/2009
Control Center 8.00.70.08 26/06/2008
Config Center 8.00.70.03 12/06/2008
Luke Filewalker 8.01.04.10 02/12/2008
AntiVir Guard 8.00.01.30 15/10/2008

when I click on "product update" it only updates avnotify... so I guess I am up to date...

 

btw, I have Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus edition

 

Me too

Cheers

 

sorry to insist on this...

how do you know it scans your flash stick? you get a Luke Filewalker window, or some kind of notification?

 

Avira will scan on every read, write or read&write action, depending on your settings.
Just set the heuristic level highest and scan on read&write and you're good.
However, disabling autoplay is a must these days.
No matter what, every AV/AS will fail one time, even the best, so disabling autoplay is an easy way to improve security regardless of your choice of AV and especially regarding USB sticks.
Cheers.
