USB Security Protection

USB flash drives are the best means of transporting data, due to their physical size, as well as their storage capacity. Despite their efficiency, they can be infected with malware, like any other memory drive. USB Security Protection offers real time protection against malicious programs that may come from USB flash drives or other memory devices. Besides its scanning feature, you can also find a series of useful tools which prevent infections.

The application's installation package is 2.32 Mb large, which should be easy to download. You can use it on all popular Windows versions, but the most important part is that USB Security Protection is compatible with other antivirus programs. This means that you will not encounter any conflicts between USB Security Protection and third party products.

USB Security Protection includes many tools and features. Depending on which one you want to use, you will have to access certain categories on the interface. For example, if you need to scan your USB drive for malware infections, you will have to open the USB Scan page, by clicking one of the buttons, located on the left side of the window. The page contains most options that you would find in most scanners. A Scan button will commence the process in question and the results will be displayed in a list, where you can select and delete them.

The software is capable of much more than scanning USB flash drives for viruses. It offers various protection features that prevent infections when you plug in a removable memory device. With a single mouse click, you can set USB drives to read only, preventing anyone from copying important data from your hard drive. You can even prevent unauthorized persons from connecting USB drives to your computer or disable the USB access control and drive control.

Another section includes options for vaccinating your computer. This will disable the auto-run feature for any removable media, including USB drives, CDs or DVDs. It is also possible to vaccinate individual flash drives, by disabling their autorun.ini files. To prevent losing or damaging your data, it is important to remove a USB drive safely, before you unplug it or shut down the computer. This is why it is possible to activate an alarm which goes off whenever you shut down or log off, while a USB drive is still plugged in.

USB Security Protection lets you manage auto-run applications and services, as well as scheduled tasks. They are listed under separate tabs, in the Booster section, and you only need to click a hyperlink, next to an entry, to disable one of these items. You can also find a repair tool which can fix .exe file associations, disabled folder options, the Windows Registry and more.
