USB WriteProtect

USB WriteProtect might be a simple app, yet it manages to bring useful functionality to users who fear that portable drives might not be as secure as they probably should. In other terms, as its name might suggest, this app enables write protection on any attached USB drive. Activating said function couldn't have been easier. It's a one-button-job. Deactivating the added protection is just as simple.

Protecting information on your USB stick can be important especially if you allow others to view its contents. The idea behind this particular app is to be able to somehow protect your drive's data in order to avoid having it altered or removed for no particular reason. This can also be done generally with folders and files per se. In this particular case, the app protects the whole device. Nothing can be altered or changed, just viewed.

Protecting your USB device doesn't have to be something permanent. This exact idea must have crossed the developer's mind since there is an "UnProtect" button for those individuals who want to undo the protection process when it is not needed any further. In terms of functionality, there's not much to discuss. It can do one thing and one thing only, but it manages to do that just as advertised.
