I have all of my USB Flash Drives:
1. Formatted NTFS. 2. Immunized with Panda USB Vaccine. How would I further increase protection (USB Flash Drive based protection) against Malware? Is there some way to prevent any executable files from being ran on USB Flash Drives? Since the USB Flash Drives are formatted NTFS, is there some way to use Windows to set permissions (on the USB Flash Drive) to deny files from being executed on the USB Flash Drives? Thanks in Advance.

mick92z suggestion is excellent to you.
USB Flash Drives Control allows to do what you want also; but in your case I would follow mick92z suggestion.

My Goal is to Prevent a USB Flash Drive from transferring Malware from any USB Flash Drive to any PC. I was mainly thinking of keeping anyone's USB Flash Drive from infecting anyone's PC.
I want to Minimize the chance of spreading Malware from USB Flash Drives to an isolated Network of PC's.

ERP can be configured to block the execution of processes started from USBs, Network Drives, RAM Disks and CD-ROMs. So if you insert an infected USB in your PC where is installed ERP, the malware will be auto-blocked from beign executed in your system. Also lockdown-mode can help to block any unknown process by default.

Personally i feel usb protection is pointless.
For a malware to execute it either has to be resident in the ram or on the hard drive and the resident antivirus will be monitoring these.

This way you protect one entry point into your system.
