This is accomplished by parsing the file and extracting all references to executable files which might run upon inserting the USB drive. Next step is to determine which additional files might pose a threat for your system and to lock them as well. In this state, USB Guardian considers the USB resource as locked. In order to reduce the risk, first step is always to minimize and control the damages and this means isolating autorun.inf file from the removable dievice and blocking acces to it.

USB Guardian is able to identify which USB flash drive is inserted and it detects potentially dangerous files on the drive. The application is constantly scanning the USB port for a new removable storage device and this has led to a very small resource consumption when idle (which makes up to 99.5% from it's time). This is where USB Guardian comes into rescue. This poses a huge security risk because you can, unintenionally run malicious software such as worms an viruses. It is possible to give a USB flash drive / USB memory stick a behaviour that is very similar to autostarting CD's and DVD's. You can find more details about how USB Guardian protects your PC against worms and viruses on this page. The interface is very clean and well organized so that one can access all functions with minimum effort.

Movies, mp3s, documents and pictures can be copied from one computer to another without worrying of getting infected with worms and viruses trough USB drive.
