UsbFix

USB flash drives and other portable memory devices are excellent means of infecting a computer with viruses. In many cases, you only need to plug in an infected drive and the virus will spread through your system. UsbFix is designed specifically for this kind of threat. It can scan removable or all connected drives for infections, clean them and even immunize the drives, to prevent further infections. It is safe to say that the application offers high grade capabilities, especially when you think that the development team's partner is Bitdefender.

The software is offered completely free of charge, but donations are welcomed. It is compatible with all modern Windows platforms and it provides support for 32-bit operating systems, as well as 64-bit editions. Installing the application doesn't take anything more than downloading and running a file. You don't even have to wait for a progress bar to fill.

All features that UsbFix has to offer can be found on a compact user interface. You may click different options to start scanning or cleaning your drives, to generate a list of files and folders on your connected drives, vaccinating the devices and more.

Clicking one of the aforementioned options is all you have to do. The application will start your requested operation immediately, without any further user input. Once the scanning or cleaning process is complete, UsbFix will generate a detailed report, in plain text format and it will bring it up on the screen right away.

A particular aspect that you should know is the fact that UsbFix is not limited to removable drives. Viruses on removable drives will infect anything it can on the main hard drive the first chance it gets, which is why the application will scan your local drives as well. To prevent infections from external drives, the software can immunize them. It takes a single click to start the operation and it takes only a few seconds to vaccinate all connected drives. This will disable their auto-run files and other features and as a result, infected files won't be executed when you plug in the devices.
