Automatic detection identifies dangerous files on removable storage and sends them to a folder named Quarantine. USB Rescate also targets hidden files and folders that malware creates on a USB device, so cleanup does not depend on typing removal commands.
USB Rescate removes threats from removable storage
The program focuses on viruses affecting USB devices. It detects dangerous files automatically and moves them into Quarantine, avoiding the need to identify and delete those files through command-line instructions.
The cleanup also addresses hidden files and folders that a virus creates on the device. These items can make the contents of a USB drive appear missing or altered; USB Rescate provides an action for deleting them. The stated target is the removable device, not a Windows startup or system repair environment.
The same cleanup applies to several device types
USB Rescate supports more than standard USB memory sticks. It can work with portable players and storage attached through a card reader or USB connection.
- USB flash memory
- MP3 and MP4 devices
- Card readers
- External USB hard drives
Detected files go into Quarantine
After identifying dangerous files, USB Rescate moves them to a folder called Quarantine. This keeps the program's cleanup workflow centered on separating the detected threats from the rest of the device's contents. The described actions include removing virus-created hidden folders and files; they do not establish that deleted personal files can be recovered.
Because the program handles removable media, the device to clean needs to be accessible to the computer running USB Rescate. Its automatic detection is intended to remove the need to know the names or locations of individual dangerous files.
