What is Drive Dot Shield?

Drive Dot Shield

Drive Dot Shield is here to keep your flash drives safe! While the autorun.inf file isn't harmful by itself, it can be misused by malware and viruses to spread from one device to another. This little text file, which works with Windows' AutoRun and AutoPlay, can open the door for nasty infections on your computer or any removable drives.

Why You Need Extra Protection

No matter if you're using local drives or flash drives, it's always smart to add some extra protection. That's where Drive Dot Shield comes into play. It's designed specifically to defend your flash drives against threats from the autorun.inf file.

User-Friendly Interface

The installation of Drive Dot Shield is super simple. Once it's up and running, you'll see a clean interface that shows all the detected drives on your machine. It can spot various types of drives like NTFS, UDF, and removable ones. You'll get details like their label, name, type, filesystem type, and current status. If any drive is already infected, you'll get a heads-up right away!

Add an Extra Layer of Security

If you find out that a drive is infected, there isn't much you can do about that one. But don't worry; you can still protect your other drives! Drive Dot Shield creates an autorun.inf folder right on the root of the drive that can't be deleted. This means it adds an extra layer of security!

The Threats Out There

The autorun.inf file can sneak onto your system through websites, third-party apps, or other USB drives. But with Drive Dot Shield, you can activate protection for your drives so that viruses won't have a chance to use the autorun file as a way in!
