1) Download MCShield by MyCity and install it on your system.

2)Make sure you have latest virus database by clicking Update in UI and then plug your USB in.



This will also scan your hard drive for infection source.

Scan progress doesn't show because scanning lasts for 10 seconds.

Disinfected files will be in folder so you can copy them and format drive and put them back where they were.

After disinfection you need to format your drive !

Really? 10 secs for a full TB drive?

500 GB , 2 seconds

Very fast scan speed but as far as I can work out it doesn't scan anything. Not impressed by it, it couldn't even detect a Eicar test virus everything else does

It detects only USB malware. If you want EICAR detected,turn on Paranoid Mode.

Oh I see. Interesting. I wonder if they'll do a portable sand boxed version so you could scan a infected drive within itself without being shutdown.

I contacted one of developers and he said that cannot be possible because of driver that McShield uses. It is a great program and it uses only 6MB. One of developers is actually malware removal expert like myself (i still learning about Combofix and Zoek,other tools are completed)
