Does Bitdefender Free scan flash drives upon insertion?

djdelarosa25

I frequently handle my classmates' flash drives and plug them into my laptop because of school and I was worried that Bitdefender Free might not have the feature to automatically scan flash drives upon insertion. I have been a victim of the shortcut virus many times already when my antivirus was still Windows Defender. Is this the case for Bitdefender Free?

Hi, 

 

The USB drives will not be scanned automatically by Antivirus Free, you have the option to scan the drive yourself before accessing any files, and of course the real time protection will scan any files from the drive as they are accessed by you or the system.
