This is a utility that can control data copy through the USB and CD/DVD drives.
When this tool is installed, it will help prevent copying of data through the USB ports or through CD/DVD drives. If the data does not belong to you, there is no way they can be copied by you. Once installed, the program asks you to set and confirm a password. These are used to validate access to the data. Illegal copy, leakage and duplication of your private files and folders are completely blocked this way. Secondary benefits that could be derived are prevention of spread of viruses and malware by not letting malicious USB Drives, CDs and DVDs access your PC without your permission (password). It will also prevent unauthorized network computers & non-system drives, preventing any malicious activities.
Every time a device is plugged in the PC prompts for a password. If it is not a proper password, nothing can be copied into that drive. If the password is correct however, full access is allowed. The system also maintains a list of authorized devices so that passwords need not be used every time an access is made. USB Block prompts for a password every time an external device is plugged into your PC. The program blocks devices even in Safe Mode, making it impossible for hackers to copy data from your computer. This utility itself could not be deleted by anyone other than the owner. Thus, there is no way anyone can work around it The program also works in a stealth mode so that it will difficult to discover its existence too. Overall, it is a good product.
