Protect your PC from pendrive threats

Free USB Disk Security is a small, free app that claims to keep your pendrives and USB disks safe and secure.

On first looks, it's a decent app. The interface is simple and clean, although we found it annoying that although the app creates a shortcut icon for you, you can't actually access Free USB Disk Security with it - you need to click on the Free USB Disk Security icon in the notification area in the taskbar to see its options and open the main interface.

Free USB Disk Security claims to offer two main USB tools - a shield, to protect you from incoming threats, and a scan, to scan pendrives once they are inserted. From the main interface, you'll also see an option to repair your system (which are just a selection of basic tools already provided by Windows). The home button provides an overview of the app's services.

In theory, Free USB Disk Security is a great idea and an excellent free tool, but in reality it's very, very difficult to tell if it's doing anything useful. When we did scan, it was extremely quick - to the extent that we weren't sure if it had even scanned. As for the monitoring, Free USB Disk Security claims the protection is real time, but when we inserted a USB stick, it didn't even tell us it had registered the event.

Free USB Disk Security looks good, but it's so hard to tell if it's doing anything useful, we'd prefer to rely on a standard antivirus program instead.

Your review for Free USB Disk Security
Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
