Problem:

How to keep malware from spreading via portable media.

Solution:

There has been a lot of press recently about viruses spreading via Flash drives. The current focus for virus protection has been on keeping viruses out of computer memory and local drives. But what if your local drive is portable? Virus protection does not have the ability to travel with the drive as it is used on different computers.

DriveDefender is a portable application designed to travel on Flash drives and other portable media. Its purpose is to keep malware from spreading when storage is used outside a protected environment. Invoked on any Windows computer (no installation required), it runs in the background to detect read, write, and execute events. The associated files are scanned by an award winning anti-virus engine to make certain a virus neither moves on or off the drive.

Designed for all portable storage devices. It can also be integrated with secure storage to assure private partitions are not accessible until DriveDefender is running. Business models include revenue sharing and licensing.
