Block threats from USB storage device

[Guest zhensoftware@163.com]

USB storage devices have gained popularity. It can be host to viruses,

Trojans, hacker toolkits, worms or other forms of malicious programs.

For example, when you plug your USB disk into a computer that is

infected by viruses, viruses will create a file named AUTORUN.INF and

malicious programs on your USB disk. Then, when you plug the USB disk

to another computer, the one will be at risk. Threats from USB storage

devices to computer have been a huge security risk for businesses and

individuals.

So, how does one protect against threats from USB storage devices?

Well, here are my suggestions.

1. The AUTORUN.INF file is a text file located in the root directory.

It enables malicious programs to automatically run when the USB

storage device is plugged into a computer. Fortunately, you can

disable the AUTORUN in the registry. There are many instructions for

doing this online. But one of the flaws is that people must be

familiar with registry. The second flaw is that it can't delete the

malicious programs on your USB disk, so the malicious programs still

have threats against other computers.

2. You can use antivirus software to scan removable storage media, but

the flaws of the method are the antivirus software based on database

of signature can't find new malicious programs, and scanning USB disk

is time consuming.

3. The best way of blocking threats from USB storage device is to

choose the software Removable Storage Guard. It turns the AUTORUN off

and uses new technology to quickly and exactly find all the threats on

the removable storage media. You needn't worry about threats from USB

storage as soon as you install the software.

The key feature of Removable Storage Guard:

1. Block all the threats via AutoRun of removable storage.

2. Use new technology to find threats and have no needs in database of

signature.

3. Show you all the programs running on your computer and tell you

which programs are safe or unknown.

4. Repair your registry destroyed by viruses.

5. Clean your system rubbish.

6. Shutdown windows by timer.

7. Occupancy rate of CPU and memory is very low.

8. List all the programs (except system programs) running with the

startup of windows in the registry.

9. Support and upgrade are free.
