How do I scan a jump drive for a virus on a Macbook Pro?

What anti virus program are you using? Just set your program to scan all attached drives. If using Windows 8 then it automatically scans attached drives when you access a file on them.
More info please.
Just got the Macbook Pro (without retina)...so Where do I ck for antivirus program?
This is my first Apple....I'm a PC user and need to also learn the Apple lingo.
Does a new Macbook Pro come with a virus program? I can't find one if it did. I went to systems preferences. Help?
You are posting in the Boot Camp forum. Boot Camp is a means for installing and using Windows on your Apple computer. So it is assumed you are asking about using anti virus in Windows.
If you are using an Apple computer without Windows then you do not need to do anything.
That proves what a rookie I am at this! Sorry, I thought I was in a community for new Macbook pro users.
As far as I know, I have OSX operating system. So, no antivirus software needed? What group should I be asking my question to? Thanks for your help.

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Robust anti-virus and anti-malware protections have been integrated in OS X since its inception, and have only improved in the many years since then. Mavericks represents the beneficiary of all that experience. There is no separate program to install, but there are features you can use and practices you can observe to customize or augment those protections:
OS X Mavericks: Protect your Mac
OS X Mavericks: Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks: Keep your information safe
If you install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp or virtualization software, Windows requires its own anti-virus measures. That's nothing new.
The following principles are intended specifically for OS X but can be adapted for any operating system or device.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
Thank you John Galt. When will your 3rd part of Movie Atlas Shrugged be out?
Very helpful!
