What operating system do you have? You need to disable the auto play of the usb drives so that when you plug it in it won't automatically run. Sounds to me like there is possibly an infected file on the usb drive. Have you run a scan of the usb drive with your av program AND MBA-M?

See here to turn off Auto Play for whatever operating system you have. Also many, if not most AV programs can be configured to stop auto play when the devices are plugged in. This is done for your safety so that it stops the drive from auto playing and passing an infected file onto the computer. This won't stop the drive from being used, it will just have to be used manually.

MBA-M Free version is a scanner/remover only, doesn't run in the back ground so it would have no affect whatsoever.It is just another good and very effective way of keeping the computer clean. Update it and do a scan with it at least once a week. Always update before each and every scan.
