So protect through Flash Disinfector and leave the file created on the drive for protection:

It would be nice if Avast had something built in for autorun disabling, like one little box to check. It would beat manually disabling stuff.

I tried the Panda USB protection application on one of my Flash drives already protected by Flash_Disinfector on my Vista system and it complained that it could not protect it.

This is interesting:

Maybe the complaint is due to the already active Flash disinfector protection (intereaction). Why would you need two protections on the same issue?
I tried the Panda USB program with 0 fault.

That is a False positive because it downloads fine with avast! and is not malware according to Malwarebytes MBAM.
Send in a False positive report to Avira AntiVir.

When I fire up my XP Pro system with Avira AntiVir I'll check it out.

Added info: It is a false positive and I tried to report it but I had a problem:
