Do you know that there is always a tradeoff between convenience and security? With the convenience of storing and taking along hefty chunks of data in a small portable USB Flash Drive, there is always a price you have to pay which is not the cost of your flash drive but the cost of a compromise to the security.
Given the discovery that in recent times; a great number of students, business men, lawyers and professionals, who may use USB devices frequently, become a victim of data security breach resulting in a great and unavoidable loss of so much of their private and extremely important data. Do you want to be one amongst them too? Or are you willing to understand the security conce
s of your data and ready to implement the perfect data security solution we have for you?
The security and confidentiality of your precious data is just as similar as the security of the home you live in. So get ready for setting up a perfect alarm and surveillance system for your USB Drives because what we have in store for you is worth the price you pay for.
With a fast, unfailing, portable and extremely convenient program like USB Secure, the protection of your thumb drives, memory sticks, pen drives, and flash drives is just a one-click operation. The functionality of this program is as simple as presented in its description.
Wait a second, are you thinking that you are running low on your system memory and worried that you won't be able to run this program on your system? If that's what is bothering you, then we have good news for you. Now, you don't need to worry about the space on your hard drive or how many programs are installed on your computer already. USB Secure installs the program to your USB drive or exte
al drive and doesn't add any baggage to your PC. The program is clean, lean and mean and does what it says.
In order to Secure USB drive, what you need to do is to plug in your USB device and download the.exe file of USB secure directly on your USB device. Run the downloaded file afterwards and set the password which the program will prompt you for.
Once you set and confirm a password in USB Secure, all you need to do is hit the 'Protect' button. The protection process will be immediate and all files in your USB Drive will be protected and become invisible in a few seconds. Once protected, don't think that your data is locked forever, it can be accessed anytime. All you do is enter your password and click the 'unprotect' button. This will open up all locked data in a few seconds.
With an intention to keep you away from the hassle of running the software separately by searching it in your drives, the Auto play feature of this program pops an option to open your USB with password every time you plug in your Flash drive. Irritated by these nagging auto play options? Just disable the feature of Auto Play by un-checking the Auto-Play feature from the USB Secure options.
A few clicks and a small investment gives you guaranteed peace of mind and is much better than the cost you pay, if the privacy of the information stored in your USB drive is jeopardized. Think about It.!
