The programs's main executable is USBSafelyRemove.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 24.09 MB of memory. It also includes a system tray icon that is displayed in the notifications area while the program is running.

"USB Safely Remove" is an excellent tool in all regards. don't be fooled by the overall sentiment, it's just a mathematical formula. As good as it is, I found that it tends to be quite unfair to applications that do not get used by a lot of people. Think of an app that is awesome but not many people use (say a comic book reader) and run it through the test, you'll see what I mean.
