How can I auto fresh when a button is clicked?

How to auto-scan a flashdrive?

• I used a flashdrive to print out a powepoint at school and when i inserted it at home again, my ESET notification came up about unwanted stuff or something. i clicked delete and for some reason the clean button didnt work. idk what to do and i'm scared that the "unwanted stuff" might have affected my computer. . . did it? And after i saw the message and clicked delete, i removed the flashdrive. I DID NOT manually open up the flashdrive to see the documents in the flashdrive and im worried my computer might of had auto-opened it or something. And when i checked the quarantined items on ESET, a new "threat" appeared on the list at the exact time i opened up the file. Does this mean it won't cause harm because its quarantined? How do I stop my computer from automactically opening files from a flashdrive? How do i get my ESET scanner to ALWAYS scan any flashdrive that is inserted in my computer before opening it? I have windows vista if that is something you would have to know o_O.

• Answer:

  I suggest you re-post your question in a different category (this one is for hardware scanners, the kind that sit on your desk and use an optical laser to copy things). Personally I'd suggest utilizing any of the free online scanners offered by Norton, Panda, etc. Check the threat information your virus scanner provides for the item it's calling a threat in quarantine and see if it still poses a danger to your computer. If the scanner moved the files to quarantine, you might be alright--but there is the possibility that it corrupted root folders or registry keys that your scanner didn't see...
