Automatically Scan USB sticks ?

Question

Hello - 
 Is there is a policy setting within Central that scans the contents of USB sticks when inserted into a machine ? Or is there another setting, say 'real time scanning' that caters for this ? 
 Thanks

Hello Mark Sime , 
 this is a long and often sought for feature with an IMO disputable use and benefit. USB sticks are, albeit removable, local storage and thus subject to Real-time scanning - access to malicious files residing on them will be blocked anyway.

Hi Mark, 
 The real-time scanning by default will scan the contents of the USB/External drives when the files are being accessed, modified or executed. But it will not scan the entire drive instead.
