Hi lgp171188
I think it might depend on which anti-virus programme you are running. I just had a look at mine and I can't programme that to happen. I can only do a manual scan on inserting the USB drive.

AVG Free scans my usb key whenever I insert it. It found 2 viruses on my friend's memory stick that way.
