May find something of use here (http://www.google.com/search?q=make+flash+drives+read+only&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) depending on your exact needs, wallet.

are there AVs to protect pendrives?

Drivesentry is a name I have heard for this sort of thing..... but then again you could always set an invisible, read only autorun.inf and any autorun worm will cry :D

I think you might be interested in DriveSentry Goanywhere (http://www.drivesentry.com/AntiVirus-Firewall-products-for-computers-and-removable-media.html).

Sorry have no experience with it myself.

Baz_kasp made a fine suggestion too. All though it does not quit accomplish what you want it will block any auto-runs from the USB.
