Το Shiela USB Shield είναι ένα δωρεάν πρόγραμμα ασφαλείας για τα λειτουργικά συστήματα Windows which protects you from malicious USB.
Shiela USB Shield is a simple, easy-to-use program that adds another level of security to your systems. The program needs almost no memory, and if you set it to run automatically, you will not notice it running, even if it is active in the background.
It is known that USB devices are often used to distribute malware. The free software Shiela USB Shield offers real-time protection against threats from removable devices using USB connections.
Among its many protection features is that it locks autorun.inf and the executable files associated with it. It offers write protection options (write rights) or even the complete disabling of USB Mass Storage on system.
Note: If you wish to install the application, you should be aware that it requires elevated (administrator) rights, and that it requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or a later version. In case there are none, one will be returned to you message error.
Shiela USB Shield works silently in the background. You will need to check the settings at least once to make sure the application is set up correctly.
The settings are quite extensive and are divided into four tabs.
- Give the virus scanner installation folder you are using or the command Shiela will use if malicious files are detected.
- Choose between automatically fix issues (default), or view alerts. The default setting is set to "freeze" infected files.
- Disable USB Mass Storage or change write protection.
- Add file extensions or files that will not are excluded from the analysis.
In theory, it is possible to manually run the application on fixed drives, but we do not recommend it because it is not designed for it.
