Malware frequently utilizes the Windows Autorun feature for distribution across external media. Standard antivirus scanning occasionally misses these initial execution triggers. Flash Guard provides a dedicated layer of protection specifically for removable drives.

The application starts at user logon and monitors all connected media continuously. It executes your configured security protocol the moment a new USB drive mounts to the system:

Remove context menu items

The software strips unauthorized right-click entries generated by Autorun configurations. This core function allows you to browse the drive safely through Windows Explorer.

Notify the user

The application displays a desktop warning when it detects execution scripts on new media.

Remove Autorun.inf

You can configure the system to delete the primary execution file instantly.

Remove all Autorun files

The utility eliminates all associated execution triggers for complete sanitization. Administrators can customize the exact response protocol in the settings panel.

You can use this software at no cost for any commercial or personal purpose. We accept optional donations to support ongoing development.
