Also, if you use a flash drive to transfer files between your computer and another, I’d recommend having an anti-virus available for checking the drive, even if you don’t use it for real-time protection.

Yeah I’ve actually installed Comodo on here because obviously Avast Home doesn’t work and quite rightly so as it’s not designed to, once you disable the defence + and sandbox Comodo isn’t too bad!

Resource usage isn’t too bad on Comodo so that’s that sorted 🙂

just disable auto run
i use vlite to pre config it

Disabling autorun on the drive doesn’t give you full protection against malware, it only helps ensure the malware doesn’t run before you get a chance to scan the drive. If you don’t scan at all, though, your system will still be compromised if you manually open an infected file.
