USB drives are valuable accessories to laptops and PCS. However, these little pen drives are also a common way of transferring virus infections from one computer to another.

The program then proceeds to scan the drive and blocks or delete all malicious files detected.

These types of viruses make it impossible to open a folder by double-clicking.

The developers claim that the application can permanently protect the computer from all USB drives infections without the need for the update of virus signatures.
It is part from antivirus category and is licensed as shareware for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platform and can be used as a free trial until the trial period will end.
