[houssam_ballout]

Hello,
I need some software that let me protect any flash memory inserted with a password.
Any help?
Thanks

Been told the free version is ok to use but it is a bit limited

I need something to automatically protect all flash memory devices, even new connected devices..

Im not sure sure about that. I've never heard of anything that can automatically protect a flash when it's put in, only ways to protect individual sticks.

Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean ?

Are you just trying to disable the USB ports?

Seems like it to me. You can disable them by going into Device Manager, but that's recommended and it's inefficient. Why would you possibly want to do that anyway?

 

[houssam_ballout]

but I need to protect it, disabling it in device manager is not sufficient

Not sure then, don't think there is anything out there that could goes as far as you are looking at going, unless someone else knows, sorry.

I have seen some BIOSs that do that, and I have seen a hardware deal on some laptops that can do that, but I have yet to see something like you're talking about.

Why do you even want to disable your USB ports?? Just password protect your computer and lock your USB flash drives in a lockbox. They can be gotten at walmart for less than $20 US

well, its a public computer.

Your best bet is to get the flash drives made by Sandisk, they are called "Cruzer" and are U3 compatible. And they also can be setup for a password. So when I plug mine in, it will ask for a password. Also being u3, I can run u3 programs on it like Firefox browser for u3 Open office for u3 and so on.

Well if it is a public computer then you can't block others to use the computer, include the usb ports.

well, this is the criteria I need to deploy
