It is a permission based software, once installed, the program asks you to set and confirm a password which it uses to allow access to your own USB drives, External drives, CDs, DVDs etc., while blocking every other drive. This prevents illegal copy, leakage and duplication of your private files and folders.

In addition to data leak prevention, USB Block also prevents spread of viruses and malware by not letting malicious USB Drives, CDs and DVDs access your PC without your permission (password). The program also blocks unauthorized network computers non-system drives, keeping malicious activity as far away from your computers as possible. If you use your computer at home or have several PCs in your office, installing USB Block on every computer is your ticket to safe computing.

If you enter the correct password, the program allows full access to that drive, however if you deny access, no file can be copied or leaked from your PC to that drive. The program also maintains a list of authorized devices for you so that you wonGG??G??t be prompted for the password next time. This way, you can allow access and transfer data to your own drives while continue to block others.
