USB Toolkit

Portable USB drives remain one of the most widely-used means of spreading malware. It is important to scan the drive when connecting it to your computer, so as to isolate any malicious files that tries to execute malicious code. Aside from a reliable and permanent antivirus solution equipped with automatic USB drive scanning, you can also use the USB Toolkit.

The security-related functions are probably the most important features of USB Toolkit. The application detects all the connected USB devices and scans the selected drive to find malware and dangerous content, such as execution scripts and autorun files. You can easily delete the threatening content with the push of a button.

In case malware has already reached the drive and files have been hidden, you can try to recover them with USB Toolkit.

Aside from securing your device, USB Toolkit can also perform a series of maintenance operations. To begin with, you can use it to check a USB drive for errors and detect corrupted or bad sectors. USB Toolkit can try to repair file system errors and recover corrupted data, but the success is not guaranteed.

In case you need to empty the USB drive or want to get rid of its contents, keep in mind that USB Toolkit can also perform drive formatting. It is possible to assign a new label to the USB drive and select the file system type (FAT32, NTFS, ExFAT) prior to formatting. Please don't forget that formatting permanently erases all the data on the drive, so make sure you create backups beforehand.

USB Toolkit comes with a set of features that allow securing USB drives and making sure the stored data is safe. While drive formatting is a function that can also be found in Windows, error fixing and anti-malware scanning are not.
