We often use public computers which are homes for viruses, threats and worms.
The first thing you do when you plug in your usb drive in public computer is to identify a malicious processes running on host computer. A great utility for doing this thing is process explorer.It can disable undesirable processes.
The most useful feature in process explorer is that, if there is any process that restarts when you stop it, you can suspend in and leave it hanging while you continue with your work.
Some experience with the process manager is required before you can identify harmful process right away. There are many websites which lists all harmful process and most common threats.

thanx for such an idea....i was very much frustrated with this.
A simple way to disable any virus,worm or trojan from entering your usb driver is to create a folder by the name of 'autorun.inf'.once this is done,right click on the folder,navigate to the properties,hide the folder as well as write protect it.this works as well with a text file of the same name.This ensures that even if a virus ,trojan or worm does get into the USB drive,it does not being to operate as soon as the drive is connected to any computer.
