How Do I Write Protect My USB Flash Drive, Help

I have an Apacer USB flash drive. I am planning on keeping antivirus and security applications there. However, the flash drive doesn't have any write-protect switch on it. I need to make sure the drive is write protected so that it doesn't get infected when plugged into other computers.

Write protection is the ability of an external device or software program to prevent new information from being written, meanwhile old information from being modified or changed. When a disk is write-protected, you cannot write or copy data on it. Therefore, sometimes we will protect our data by write-protecting our USB drive.
