MetaDefender Drive with Smart Touch features a mobile form factor to add more flexibility and connectivity to transient device scanning. Similar to other form factors, it ships as an out-of-the-box solution with the latest software and scanning engine versions installed.
If your system's hardware is below the recommended specifications, please expect slow processing and performance reduction
If you insert MetaDefender Drive into the target device while this device is already booted, please DON'T format the Drive's partition if prompted by the operating system. Such formatting will erase MetaDefender Drive's software and prevent it from functioning.
