    The latest version of Avira blocks the clean autorun.inf (which launches the kingston software) on my memory stick.
    It was not a virus. Every device I tried to attach got blocked and I found it hard to believe they all had a virus

    I will do a root scan from safe mode, but it seems these may be false positives?
