USB Lock Standard is an application that enables you to protect data on your USB removable drives or CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs, by preventing unauthorized use of these devices.

At the first run, USB Lock Standard requires you to set a mandatory access password, which you have to enter each time you want to open the application. Permanently running in the system tray, the software allows you to restrict or allow access to USB devices any time you want.

After entering your password, the software displays its 'Control Panel' window, where you can choose which USB drive you want to protect. To do this, you have to push the corresponding lock buttons for each device.

For example, after restricting access to the DVD-ROM, once your computer tries to read a new CD or DVD, USB Lock Standard automatically ejects it. Obviously, this does not happen if you remove the 'protected' status of the device.

One advantage of the system is that it allows you to authorize or restrict the use of USB storage drives without affecting the other USB-based peripherals, such as the keyboard or mouse.

In order to prevent unwanted access to files on your USB drive or smart card, you can create a portable protector. Once you select the removable drive, an EXE file is created on it, allowing you to protect your files by assigning them a password, so nobody can access them from another computer. The password is the same as the one you set for the program at the beginning.

Another useful feature is the 'Auto-Off' mode, which allows you to use a USB device as authorization key when running in auto mode.

USB Lock Standard is a lightweight application that you can uninstall right from the main window. It allows you to prevent data loss that comes as a result of misuse of USB removable drives and other devices.
