USB ports make our life easier because you can easily copy files from a computer by simply plug in your USB flash drive into the port. And it is easier for someone to steal valuable files from your computer. They just need to stick their USB flash drive to the USB port and copy data off. Data theft normally happen when you are away from your computer. To protect your computer from data theft, one of the best security measures that you can apply is by blocking USB port on your system.
NetWrix USB Blocker is a USB port protection software that allows you to disable the USB ports to prevent unauthorized use of removable media that connects to computer USB ports, for example, USB flash drives, memory sticks, removable hard disks, iPods, and more. To disable the USB ports, simply check the “Block USB Devices” option on the main window of USB Blocker. Besides, you can exclude computers from the USB ports block lists.
This security measure is strongly recommended for computer network. It can protects your network against malware and prevents theft of sensitive corporate data. USB Blocker relies only on built-in Group Policy mechanisms and it requires no deployment on client computers.
Don’t make such hassles. Just go forward and download the best software for such a task.
It is uHook 2.1 and its awesome ! because it selectively allows/blocks access to required USB device.
Download it from http://www.dataresolve.com and from my experience it delivers exactly what is claims.
Using it you can also password protect and enable and disable your USB data transfers when required and even keep them under check.
It gives other companies a run for their product because uHook is an excellently built product.
Well, this application is better but unfortunately it is not a freeware.
