At every turn within cyberspace, there seems to be another threat. USB-AV Antivirus 2012 is formulated to protect your entire system from viruses, malware and other malicious programs that affect your external devices. While the consumer antivirus industry is flooded with various programs that promise high-quality protection, few carry the technology and advanced-level protection as USB-AV Antivirus 2012.

Designed to scan and protect various USB drive devices, this program is essential for those who share digital media files between one or more computer system. Computer viruses aren't just an online threat. Once a virus enters a computer, it can attach itself to a myriad of files. If one of these files is transferred onto a USB device, the virus piggybacks on the file and into an unsuspecting computer.

How it Works

Much like any other antivirus software suite, USB-AV Antivirus 2012 sits in the recesses of the computer. Installation is simplistic and swift. Once installed and activated, this program waits until a USB device is plugged into the PC. Once detected, the program fully activates. Within a matter of seconds, the entire USB device is scanned for various forms of malicious coding and viruses.

Upon finding any questionable files or lines of code, USB-AV Antivirus 2012 quarantines these files in a secure location. At scan completion, the program identifies malicious files and provides various statistics regarding its potential threat level. The detail of these statistics is customizable by exploring the “Settings” option.

At your discretion, USB-AV Antivirus 2012 will delete or restore its quarantined files. While this program is well-equipped to scan USB devices, it should not be mistaken for a full-system antivirus. While unable to fully protect your computer, when combined with a full-system program, your entire computer will be safeguarded against attack.

Software Specs

To ensure USB-AV Antivirus 2012 is compatible with your system, review the below specifications.

  • System Compatibility - This version of USB-AV Antivirus 2012 is currently compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 operating systems.
  • File Size - Don't worry about this program filling too much space on your hard drive as it's only 10.72 MB.
