    Are you able to see it with MSE or another security product? If so, err on the cautious side and scan it with them to rule out FP.

    • Double-click on USBVaccineSetup.exe to install the program to C:\Program Files\Panda USB Vaccine.
    • Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next.
    • When setup completes, make sure "Launch Panda USB Vaccine" is checked and click Finish to open the program.
    • Click the Vaccinate computer button. It should now show a green checkmark and confirm Computer vaccinated.
    • Hold down the Shift key and insert your USB flash drive.
    • When the name of the drive appears in the dialog box, click the button to Vaccinate USB drive(s).
    • Exit the program when done
    -- Computer Vaccination will prevent any AutoRun file from running, regardless of whether the removable device is infected or not.

    -- USB Vaccination disables the autorun file so it cannot be read, modified or replaced and creates a hidden AUTORUN_.INF on the flash drive partition as protection against malevolent code by preventing a malicious autorun file from being installed. The Panda Resarch Blog advises that once USB drives have been vaccinated, they cannot be reversed except with a format. If you do this, be sure to back up your data files first or they will be lost during the formatting process.
