Description.

The USB Program is designed to help prevent computers being infected by autorun
viruses.
The program is loaded into system memory, when a new removable device attachment
occurs, the program automatically renames
autorun.inf files on new device into autorun.inf_current date_time, and sets its
attribute to "normal", making it visible for the system.
As a result it isolates any infection.
Also (as an option) the user is asked about the necessity of starting autorun.in
f (USB will show the program that it requires to start)
and in the case of a positive answer, the file autorun.inf will be restored.
