Protect your USB files

You may have heard of file locks for computers but what about the files in your USB drive? USB Flash Block/Unblock is an application developed by InstallWhat? that will give you the security you need for the important files in your USB.

The program does not need to be installed and can be used instantly. It is pretty easy and simple to use. Just make sure that you have your USB drive slotted on your PC when you run the program for it to function properly. Once you launch the application, a small window will pop up on your screen with a menu containing your options: Normal, Read Only, and Disable. Normal mode allows you to use your USB as always and without restraints, while Read Only will allow you to see the files in the USB but will stop you from making changes. That means that you cannot import anything in the drive and cannot copy its files to another folder, whether within the USB or to your computer. Disabling the USB will make it completely untouchable. After applying the changes, just click on the button below the options bar to save them.

Good but not the best. It is a handy application but it lacks the option of choosing the selected USB drives which can gain access to the PC.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
