USB Virus Scan

A common infection vector can plug an infected USB thumb drive into your computer. The USB Virus Scan security solution protects against this kind of threat by scanning USB thumb drives (and other removable, local drives and the operating memory) and removing the viruses it uncovers. On top of that, USB Virus Scan does one other thing: it prevents others from taking data from your machine; the application also disables usage of any USB storage device.

To get started with USB Virus Scan you must first get an 1.1MB archive; the lightweight download will take very little of your time. Extract the contents of the archive, run the setup.exe file, and a setup wizard will show up and guide you through the installation process. The application can be installed on anything from Windows 95 up to Windows 7.

The application’s interface is very small, very basic and very easy to figure out. All its main functions are presented to the left. These functions are: Scan (scan the operating memory, local drives, removable media), Process (displays a list of running processes), Tools (unlock USB disks locked by an application, disable usage of any USB storage device, and disable writing data to USB storage devices), Immunity (Disable AutoPlay for removable drives), FixSystem (various repair options), Settings (a few settings to play with), Update (update the application), Register, and About.

The developer says that USB Virus Scan is ideally suited to protect offline computers, meant to be used on computers that need protection against viruses but do not have access to the web. By not relying mainly on virus signatures and by using advanced detection techniques, USB Virus Scan can protect offline computers from USB viruses.

USB Virus Scan is a simple and lightweight security solution that focuses on protecting offline computers from USB viruses.
