We have Symantec version 10.1.6.6000 and per Symantec they do not have the capability to scan USB drives as soon as they are connected to the PC or server. The scan has to be initiated manually. &nbsp;Ver. 11 claims to have this capability but we have not been certified to use it as of this post. &nbsp;Here is what I am looking for. &nbsp;I am looking for a script or process that will either implement via Group Policy or as a startup file that I can attach to a Group Policy. &nbsp;I want to be able to insert a UBS mass storage device and upon connection have the antivirus software kick off a full scan to that device right then.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
