Shiela USB Shield is a freeware security program for Windows operating systems that 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. Free Shiela USB Shield offers real-time protection against threats from removable devices and USB connectivity.
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 in the system.
