USB drives are probably the easiest and lightest way to move with your data from one place to another, but do allow the PCs you plug your drive into have good anti virus protection? Chances are that your tiny USB drive has become a haven for viruses and can infect any PC including your own.

USB Write Protector is a tiny portable software that shields your USB drive from pesky viruses and trojans by disabling the write functionality. This could be pretty useful when you want to only read data from the USB drive on public computers.

USB Write Protector is free to use and available in multiple languages including English, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish among others. The software is only 187Kb in size and can be easily stored in your portable USB/Flash Drive.

    great piece of software this. unfortunately, over here, our internet cafes tend to be plagued with viruses and trojans. so sometimes, when i need to print a file in one of these places, i do so knowing there’ll be a mess to clean up after. now, i have another choice.

    If you must insert your USB drive, THEN run this software, on EACH computer you plug the USB into, then you could already be infected BEFORE you can run the prog, I didn’t investigate how this program does its thing, but ANY software-based write-protect is bound to fail.

    I have a microSD card, with an SD adapter & a USB SD reader, the SD adapter has a write-protect slide switch…THAT is a REAL hardware-based write-protect…if you want to write-protect your USB, look for the hardware slide switch BEFORE buying one…

    Um post?
