Vaccine USB

The Vaccine USB is a portable virus detection tool for Windows OS-based industrial systems. The Vaccine USB offers portable virus scan software that requires no software installation. Powered by anti-virus industry leader McAfee, up-to-date virus definitions can be downloaded to the Vaccine USB from any internet-accessible computer so users can perform the virus scan with the latest definition file even in network-isolated environments. The Vaccine USB works seamlessly with computers running Windows operating systems including XP Embedded, a popular platform for industrial computers. Upon insertion of the Vaccine USB, the virus scan program stored on its emulated CD-ROM partition will auto-run, a significant benefit for industrial computers that may lack a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. The Vaccine USB default is set to perform virus “scan only,” but can be configured to “scan and remove” the infected files as well. The scan results are provided by LED lights on the device, red light indicates viruses detected or a blue light will indicate a clean system. A detailed scan log is saved on the device, allowing further review by IT technicians.
