Overview
USB Safely Remove 4.1 is a software program developed by SafelyRemove.com. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named USBSafelyRemove.exe. Many users end up uninstalling this after less than a month of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 5.56 MB (5,826,889 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 37% of users of USB Safely Remove come from the United States, it is also popular in Australia and United Kingdom.
