Seabest,

 

You don't have to configure anything to automatically get those USB drives scanned. Any external storage device when plugged in, is automatically scanned by Auto-Protect.

 

The "Removable Media Scan" option in the Computer Settings menu is turned on by default. You can toggle this option to scan/ignore the external devices when connected.

 

If you want to test this out, turn off Auto-Protect and download an EICAR threat from, www.eicar.com. Store it in the USB drive and unplug the USB drive. Then Turn on the Auto Protect feature and Plug the USB drive back. Auto-Protect will detect the EICAR threat from the USB drive.

 

Please note that EICAR threats are simulated ones and does NO harm to your computer. It doesn't perform any payload as much as the normal malware does.
