USB theft can become a problem not only for a user, for a whole organization. USB ports, as well as other ports that allow one to connect a removable storage device, can serve as a possible way to steal confidential information. A user with a removable drive can connect the device to the computer and copy important information to it. There is also a risk of infecting the computer and the entire network with malicious files.
StopUSB has all features necessary to stop USB theft. After you install StopUSB on the computer, no user will be able to connect a removable storage device to it. The program blocks connections to USB thumb drives, portable hard drives, MP3 players, iPods, digital cameras, mobile phones. One of the features of StopUSB is that the administrator can protect connection of removable devices with a password. Each time the user connects a device to the computer, he will be asked to enter the password set by the administrator.
