Windows USB Blocker - How to Block USB Ports on Your Windows Laptop Or Desktop
Often when you share your system with somebody, it becomes important to block USB ports of your Windows laptop or desktop so that no one can transfer data from your computer to their pen drives or other external devices. Disabling the USB ports of your system prevents data from being taken away physically by them and also ensures that no virus or malware is transferred through these devices. This is especially important for centralized systems and enterprises where employees use their personal USBs on the company laptops.
This free software is a lightweight application that is easy to install and run on any system. It has a simple interface that allows you to easily disable USB ports of your computer with just one click. Its "stealth mode" hides any indication that it is running on the computer so attackers will not be able to track its activity. In addition, the program offers detailed logs of all attempts to access it.
Unlike other programs that only allow you to limit the amount of data you can store on removable media, this utility allows you to block all USB mass storage devices. However, it does not interfere with the functionality of other removable devices like keyboards and mice. Administrators can also take advantage of this software's Device Allowed List feature to establish a list of authorized USB devices that their end-users can continue to use on company devices even when the USB ports are blocked.
