Virus from USB Ports, Total Security Software Preserve you’re Systems

 

That our computer is infected with a virus can be a serious problem, since we can lose information stored on the hard disk or have confidential information stolen, among other things. The truth is that most users have total security in systems to protect themselves from malware, but without a doubt, one of the main threats to our computers is USB memory drives or pen drives. For this reason, we are going to show how we can prevent a USB memory with a virus from infecting your computer.

The use of USB memory or pen drive is something very widespread for years, but the possibility of getting a pen drive with enough capacity at a reduced price and the convenience of being able to carry it everywhere in your pocket, has made its use even greater. However, these types of devices are still one of the biggest causes of viruses on our computers.

Prevent Your PC from Getting Infected By Connecting A USB Stick With A Virus

Even if we have a total security software on the computer, we are going to show an application that will help us protect ourselves from these types of threats. The software in question is called USB Threat Protection and we can download it for free from this same link on the website of its developer. Once USB Threat Protection is installed on the computer and it is working, we can show its interface by clicking on the icon with the red and white shield that appears in the system tray.

On the left side we find a series of options and the main panel is where the settings, options or information for each of these options are displayed. The first one we find is Status, which shows us information related to the security of our equipment. In addition, from the Prevention against data loss option, which we also have as an option in the main menu, we have the possibility to tell USB Threat Protection to block the USB access control on our computer. In this way we prevent other unauthorized people from copying your data to USB devices.

It also offers the option of blocking USB device control to prevent unauthorized persons from connecting USB devices to our computer, as well as stopping any threat that may reach us from these types of devices.

The USB Protection option is the one in charge of monitoring in real time and protecting our equipment against all threats that may reach our computer from USB devices. USB Analysis is the option that allows us to analyze a USB device connected to the computer in search of any type of threat. From this same option, we also have the possibility to "vaccinate" our PC to prevent any malware from running automatically through USB memory sticks.

From the Safe pages menu option, USB Threat Protection offers us the possibility of browsing safely and even has a tool that integrates virus Total Security and that helps us verify URLs. Within the Tools option we have the possibility to make use of a disk space cleaner, repair the system or show a list of applications that start at the same time as Windows. And finally, Quarantine is the option where we are going to see all the insecure files that were deleted, encrypted and taken to this state.
