*1 : Only supports functions that are related to Virus Scan & Asset Information Collection on Windows 2000 SP3/SP4 and Windows Server and Windows Server. For more information about Windows 2000 support, please see Legal Disclaimer.
*2 : On Windows XP or Windows 2003 servers, only Administrator accounts are allowed to access the Secure Storage drive (PI SEC). However, logging in with a Standard account and running Secure Storage as an Administrator account gives the user interface different privileges within Windows File Explorer. This makes the "dragging" action unavailable in Windows.
Here are several options for solving this problem:
- Log out then log in again using an Administrator account to launch Secure Storage.
- Run Secure Storage and File Explorer as the same Administrator account with corresponding settings.
- Install a Scanning Tool Agent.
*3 : Windows XP with no service pack is not supported.
*4 : Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 installed on tablet terminals are not supported. Windows RT 8 and Windows RT 8.1 are not supported.
*5 : On some versions of Windows, right-click SecureStorage.exe and select ‘Run as Administrator’ to start it – this is because administrator privileges are required for file exchange. This restriction is based on the fact that the secure file transfer technology used by Secure Storage must align with the operating system's allowance for USB usage control.
*6 : These OS are componentized version of Windows XP Professional. When the OS components are customized by the customer, we may nbe unable to offer support.
*7 : Kernel version is 2.6.33 or above.
Notifications
- Each Portable Inspector is entitled to 1-year free hardware warranty. Upon renewal of the software license, the hardware warranty will be also be extended for the same renewal period, subject to a maximum warranty period for the hardware of 5 years.
- Contents of system requirements such as supported OS and hard disk capacity are subject to change without notice due to the end of OS support and product improvements by TXOne.
- Rescue Disk does not support if the system does not support booting from USB devices, has a RAID environment, the HDD is initialized other than GPT or MBR, or the HDD is connected via SCSI, etc.
- Portable Inspector can work with any installed software (e.g. antivirus software or data loss prevention software). However, please make sure any deployed policies that affect USB functionality have been set correctly to allow for the operation of Portable Inspector.
- Supported file system in on-demand scan and boot scan (Rescue Disk):
| Operating System | File System |
|---|---|
| Windows | NTFS and FAT |
| Linux | EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 and XFS |
For more information, refer to the KB article: Using the Rescue Disk feature of Portable Inspector.
Portable Inspector does not have a real-time scanning function.
Portable Inspector cannot be used as a general USB flash drive because it does not have the data storage area for customers.
A log is created on the local hard disk of the scanning target computer at USB boot scanning.
Portable Inspector cannot be used with Storage Area Networks (SANs).
Portable Inspector can work with BitLocker if the drive is unlocked before using Portable Inspector. However, some of its functions such as Version Upgrade or Device Reset cannot work on a PC running other encryption software. In these conditions, TXOne cannot advise which features will work correctly or not, since the specifications of encryption software can vary widely. As TXOne cannot function correctly on a PC with encryption software, please consider preparing the PC without encryption software.
Portable Inspector can basically work with any installed antivirus software and data loss prevention software. However, please make sure any deployed policies that affect USB functionality have been set up correctly to allow for the operation of Portable Inspector's operation.
Portable Inspector does not modify, delete, or damage any files on the target disk if the Scan Action is configured as "Log only". Even if “Quarantine” action is chosen, only the detected malicious file, and the infected registry keys will be cleaned.
