Does the SecureAnywhere AntiVirus scans USB Pendrives automatically when inserted? I know I can use the option with the right click mouse but that's not what I want. I need an Anti Virus software that scans all the USB pendrives or external HDs when you insert/connect them. Thank you...

Hello there, welcome to the Community!
 
As you noted, there is the option to manually trigger a scan of external drives.  WSA does not automatically scan upon connection of the drive, but it DOES automatically check any file accessed.  (read, execute, etc )

Thanks for the reply and I do know about the manual option to scan the drive. There's another AV software that automatically scans the drive when inserted but I'm not going to mention their name (unethical from my part). I'll keep looking for another software that does the trick. Again, thanks...
