Let's suppose that your computer is accessed by all the members of the family. Or that you own a computer center and all your PCs are accessed by a lot of people. In both cases, users may connect USB memory sticks that contain a lot of viruses and spyware. Doing this will threaten the security of the entire computer network. That's why it's a good idea to use a program for filtering the devices that can be connected to the USB port. Thus, you will be sure that no USB flash viruses will affect your system. One such program is uHook USB Disk Security. As the name clearly states, the software is able to protect any USB port and allow only certain devices to connect to it.

The software can be installed on almost any version of the Windows operating system and takes little time to install and only requires a few clicks for completing this process. It takes up around 4 MB of hard disk space. After the installation process is over, the user will be asked to enter two different passwords, one for accessing the software and the other for uninstalling it. Thus, one can make sure that no unauthorized users will temper with the software's settings.

The interface of uHook USB Disk Security has a graphical form and displays in real time a report containing the total number of USB devices connected to the computer and showing how many of them are untrusted. The report can display more details, using the report tab. Here, the user can select a certain date and time to display the number of connected USB devices. uHook USB Disk Security offers a white list feature for setting up USB devices that will be recognized when they will be connected to the USB port.

The program can be configured to allow full access to connected USB drives or just read-only. There is also an email feature, for sending alerts to the user regarding connected USB drives.

Pros

It allows protecting any USB device using a password. Besides that, the interface has a graphical form and it's very simple to use. Furthermore, email alerts can be sent to the user, regarding the status of connected USB devices. Last but not least, a report can be displayed in real time, containing the total number of USB drives connected to the computer on a certain day or at a certain time.

Cons

The program's features seem a bit limited. uHook USB Disk Security is the perfect solution for protecting any USB device and keeping your files safe.
