UsbFix is a free, malware
removal tool that helps you to detect and remove infected USB memory sticks or
any other USB removable devices such as external HDD (Hard Drive), phones,
smartphones, digital cameras or anything else that connects to your computer or
laptop via the USB port. The main advantages of using this utility is the
excellent support and features (see below) that will help you to deal with
infected USB devices. Famous malware (virus) threats such as Conficker have the
ability to spread using removable devices by making their own DLL and
autorun.inf files that will help them to infect any device that offers USB
connectivity.
Therefore, it doesn't matter
if you reinstall your operating system - if your antivirus doesn't recognize
the virus on the infected USB device, once you plug-in the USB - you will get
the virus. The current version runs on almost all versions of Microsoft Windows
such as XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
