Shiela USB Shield

Removable drives have always been more prone to virus infection, since their portable nature exposes them to multiple threats on a regular basis. Hence, they also facilitate the spread of malware between computers, which makes them very risky to use if they are not properly protected.

Shiela USB Shield is a software utility that enables you to actively secure your removable devices, by providing you with realtime protection against any type of malware. It also comes bundled with a few other, useful security tools, which can be used to scan, disinfect and clean the contents of a corrupted Flash drive.

Once the realtime protection is activated, the utility is constantly watching over your device, especially when it comes to file transfer and the Autorun.INF file, which is usually at the core of most type of viruses. Thus, whenever the drive attempts to run a file or a program automatically, the application checks whether it puts your computer into jeopardy.

Beside the scanner, Shiela USB Shield is also equipped with a set of cleaning utilities, which enable you to deal with corrupted files. In case you want to prevent the malware from infecting your autorun document, you can conduct a “vaccination” procedure, in order to avoid trouble before it actually happens.

You also have the possibility to lock and freeze the aforementioned file, so that it cannot be modified or infected at all. Thus, your USB drive remains protected even when it is used on a another computer, since the protection is embedded on the actual drive and it does not require the application to be running in order to assure protection.

Shiela USB Shield offers you almost everything you could need to secure your removable drives from malware attempts. Moreover, it runs in the background with minimal system requirements, while also allowing you to employ write protection on your documents and remain protected even when the drive is connected to another computer.
