InfBlocker PRO Edition Portable

InfBlocker PRO Edition Portable is a little utility that helps you avoid getting your computer infected from autorun viruses that inhabit USB flash drives.

It’s the portable version of InfBlocker PRO Edition which means that it does not require any installation and does not make any changes to your system registry. Moreover, the application runs silently in the background and you can set it to start protecting your computer as soon as you log on to your Windows account.

The application is capable of protecting your computer by disabling and blocking the autorun.inf files. When you connect a USB storage device to your computer, it’s the autorun file that makes it possible for a virus to escape and infect your computer because it creates a bridge between the flash drive and your hard disk. With the autorun function disabled, the risk of infection is eliminated.

It’s a simple and efficient solution to a serious problem. And it’s not all InfBlocker PRO Edition Portable can do. The application can be toggled to run an around the clock protection that constantly scans the connected drives and if it detects a problem the infected files are either deleted or blocked. You get to choose between the two because automatically deleting a detected file can result in drive errors.

You can set the application to notify you in case of various events, this way you can take the appropriate actions. It can even unhide files and folders, making them visible to you if you want to take a closer look at what’s on the scanned drive.

As an extra security feature, and a well thought out one, is the ability to disable the use of the USB drives. This way, no data can be read or written to the connected devices.

In closing, InfBlocker PRO Edition Portable is by all means a practical tool to have on your computer as it provides you with some degree of protection against virus threats.
