Each time you plug a USB drive into your computer you run the risk of infecting the system with malware. Some forms of malware are specifically designed to hide on USB drives and spread to your files the moment you connect that drive, and in many cases, you only realize it when it's too late. USB-AV Antivirus was created with the sole purpose of protecting your system against such threats. It monitors all USB-related activity and prevents infections, as well as any suspicious activity, whether it's from a piece of software or another user.
The software works on a run-and-forget model, meaning that you can just install it on your computer and let it work on its own, without interacting with it. Downloading and installing the program doesn't take more than a minute, and it doesn't involve any complicated settings. USB-AV Antivirus works straight out of the box, so you don't have to install any prerequisite tools or services on your system.
Once USB-AV is up and running, you won't have to worry about infections when you plug a USB drive into your computer. The software will automatically check its contents for infections so that you may know of any risks before you access them. You can also run on-demand scans through a simple context menu option. Furthermore, if you wish to change the way the program works, you can make it happen in its general settings panel, which you can access via its system tray icon.
USB-AV's flexibility opens up a wide range of possibilities. You can adjust its scanning engine to be faster or slower, but more reliable. Additionally, the software lets you pick between three effectiveness levels, from "Low", which may not detect all threats, to "High" which is more severe and may give false positives. You also get to decide how the program should deal with infections, which can include securely deleting stubborn malware upon the next system restart if it can't be done normally.
One of USB-AV's advantages is that it doesn't cause any conflicts if you have another antivirus installed on your system. In fact, the program can be made to work together with other antivirus programs. Besides running its own scan, USB-AV can call upon your main antivirus system to run an additional analysis, even if the program is closed or deactivated, so you can be double-sure the connected USB drive doesn't have any infected files.
Even if you have an antivirus program installed on your computer, USB-AV Antivirus adds an extra layer of security, to protect you from any infections that may come from suspicious USB drives.
Pros
The software can protect your computer from USB viruses. It places a wide range of useful options at your disposal. It happily shares the system with other antivirus programs and it can even work together with them.
Cons
Some antivirus-related features, like removing existing infections, are restricted to the paid version, which doesn't happen with most free antivirus programs.
