I had MCshield (little tool that scan usb) for a couple of years, yesterday I noticed that it hadn`t update signatures for a long time, I guess that program is not active anymore.

MCShield ::Anti-Malware Tool::

Any recommendation for similar program?

I still use MCshield, even without updates it still catches potential threats very well.

Otherwise I'll just leave the detection to my AV

Using MCshield on 3 different systems and it is still best in terms of Usb's viruses. No updates in a while but it still works perfectly. Memory usage is minimal to nothing.

Many of the AVs already has this feature.

You can also use the free USB Disk Security

Provides 100% protection against any virus via USB drive, flash memory, thumb drive, pen drive, ipod and more.

I believe it comes with a PUP

This program have generic names, not a major brand. In that case better stick with Avast???

Last signatures are from 2016, in antivirus world that seems too big difference/catastrofe for me. ONe more thing, when I put sd card form android box to my PC MCshield always gives me this warning:

> K:\System Volume Information
> K:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat (MD5: cf77dd76f49134cd7c442b1ed533b5b1)

>>> K:\System Volume Information - Malware (folder) > Deleted. (18.09.21. 23.37 System Volume Information.430096)


=> Malicious files : 1/1 deleted.
=> Malicious folders : 1/1 deleted.

Dangerous?

When I disable mcshield Avast doesn`t report anything. Firmware on andorid box is custom, I download it from here, it is not official (no official release, that box has no update anymore, shitty support):
