Antivirus software and malware removal for free

UsbFix is a virus/malware removal program that protects your computer and external hard drives, as well as your registry. You can check all files and folders on your USB memory sticks or USB drives. The app can also detect potential threats to your computer. It also includes quarantine and vaccination. This will prevent any future infections.

Fast detection

UsbFix has many options for scanning your devices. You can scan the entire disk or just the internal disks. This process takes less than 30 seconds for any type. It is fast enough to leave users wondering if the job has been completed. UsbFix uses a different algorithm to protect your PCs from viruses than regular anti-virus software. It will scan all files.

It is very easy to install this app. It should launch automatically after you confirm the UsbFix installation. Once the interface is loaded, it should display basic information about your computer such as disks and users. Although there aren't many buttons, it is easier to use. To learn how the vaccination feature works, make sure to check out these tutorials.

Interface and usage

The UI is small is one thing you will notice immediately. It won't resize but that's not a problem. It is easy to navigate because the buttons and text are large. The app will notify you if you are using an older version. Bitdefender has made the company a partner, and it does advertise this. This can be annoying if you are using the free version. It takes up a lot space.

You can use the analysis to scan your hard disks. You can choose to scan your disk and PC individually, or all at once. It's amazing that each scan takes exactly the same time. UsbFix can be used with any device that plugs into your USB port. You can clean and protect memory sticks, pendrives, and other HDDs.

The vaccination feature protects your computer and disks from malware. UsbFix archives all known viruses and ensures that your files don't become infected by them in the future. This process won't affect your data or reduce memory.

After every scan, UsbFix will give you a report on your device's status. It includes analyses of all scanned components and their findings. It will show you the number of infected components in each section of your device. These reports are automatically saved to the app so you don’t have to save them.

Performance and settings

UsbFix is very lightweight on your hard drive. It doesn't eat up too much RAM when scanning or removing malware. It can be run in the background while scanning for new threats. It won't be obvious that it is there. It's not easy to verify if the app is still available after a reboot. Upgrade to the premium version to be certain.

This app has only a few settings, including the ability to list all disks following a scan. This allows you to view all devices connected to your computer. Upgrade to UsbFix Premium to get better settings. One of these settings is the automatic scan at Windows Startup or when a disk has been inserted.

UsbFix will quarantine infected files until you decide what to make of it. It works in the same way as standard anti-virus software. The cleaning process is slightly different. The app will close all other windows and active programs if you choose to clean a particular file. Be aware that infected files are most often deleted. There are some coding steps you need to follow if you want to remove malware but keep the file. UsbFix may not work with your current version.

Guides and support

Developers offer lots of support and helpful tutorials to help you improve your experience. To learn from your peers, you can access forums and other communities right from the UsbFix interface. There are technicians who can help you if you need it, but they are available only by appointment.

To help them analyze your devices better, you can also send anonymous data to SOSVirus server. This can help improve the vaccination feature by adding an additional layer of protection to your files. Extensions like Autorun will be flagged by UsbFix because it is sensitive. Autorun is not malicious by design, but third-party programs can use it to trigger viruses. It is best to delete these files.

Alternatives

There are many UsbFix functions that can be found on similar programs such as MCShield or USB Security Disk. These programs behave almost exactly the same as UsbFix. It's difficult to decide which one is better. Keep in mind that USB Security Disk has higher ratings than the other two.

Reliable protection

UsbFix is simple and appealing. It's time to move from all the fancy AV software asking you to upgrade. This app does exactly as it says. It only takes a few minutes for it to do its job and has two buttons.

This is a far better choice than any other antivirus that offers a lot of functions and takes hours to scan for the same result. You will be able to save time and decide UsbFix is a better option.
