Prevention is better than cure, the old saying goes. Just like computer security, it is better to prevent any unwanted intrusion than to save the computer from damages done by malicious software.
USB FireWall blocks all virus and tojan that try to spread to your computer system when an USB device is inserted. Normally a virus spreads through the autorun feature found in Windows, unlike a worm which exploit your computer due to security weakness and duplicate itself without you clicking on the program, a virus and trojan does not have the capability to spread itself without the ‘click’ by the user.
Therefore it is important to disable the autorun feature in Windows. USB FireWall is a freeware and its functionality is limited, if ever the malicious program is already present in your system, it tries to stop it but a patch or an Antivirus program is much more adapted to this kind of problem.
As soon as your USB peripheral is inserted, the software scan it automatically and seeks for a malicious program, if a such file is detected, the software will be shown and asks you to click on the “Delete” button to remove all files associated with the program.

p.s. - An antvirus is still the best option, USB Firewall is not an antivirus program!
