USB Block for Windows

User Reviews

• "Block all unwanted external devices..."

  Jack.allenFebruary 26, 2017

  Pros

  It offers a valuable service; providing control over USB devices in a network, on a CD/DVD. I like its detailed summary option; user can see which devices he has blocked from others.

  Cons

  I would like to see more features if possible.

  Summary

  I just love the features of USB Block. Other software are good but this software gives a better confidence and every time I use it, I feel really great.

• Does not do the job it is supposed to!

  yanevmailFebruary 23, 2017

  Pros

  None besides the nice interface.

  Cons

  I tried USB Block by NewSoftwares.net. When I enabled the USB lock, my USB was not locked, but my non-system drive did. I had same experience with previous versions, but I hoped that would be fixed by now, nut unfortunately was not. I left disabled all locks, by which time my non-system drive was unlocked, but when I uninstalled the USB Block, my non-system drive was locked. I installed USB Block again, and my non-system drive was unlocked again, but after uninstalling it, my non-system drive was locked again, and repeated that 3 times. I went to www.newsoftwares.net and used the support chat to ask for solution, but got answer to email the support details about the problem with screenshot. I am really dissapointed with the software and the support. I am happy with another USB locking software by www.gilisoft.com, which works as suppoosed to.

• Data leaks now a thing of past

  allen.carlson.aMarch 2, 2015

  Pros

  multiple features

  Cons

  Works just fine for me

  Summary

  In the past, a few employees had managed to leak confidential company information and my organization ended up bleeding money. Then a colleague of mine told me about USB Block and how it's the perfect solution for the company's data. I purchase 300 copies of the software and had it installed on all computers, so far, we hadn't had any leaks - and it's been two years since we implemented USB Block. Hats of the developers!

• A single product for all-round security

  Phil TiggerOctober 1, 2014

  Pros

  No theft through USB drives and no virus for my PC

  Cons

  I am loving it

  Summary

  With this software installed in my PC, no one can plug a USB drive into it and walk away with my confidential files in that portable drive. On the other hand, I have no fear of getting my PC infected by an unknown flash drive.

• No alien USB drive can infect my PC

  davbaker12May 4, 2014

  Pros

  No one can extract my data and take it away in a USB drive and my PC cannot be infected by an unknown pen drive

  Cons

  There are no cons actually

  Summary

  I am fearless that any of my colleagues can plug in his/her USB drive in my PC and take important information away in that USB drive. Also, there is no chance of getting my PC infected due by some infected unknown USB drive as USB block does not allow any unauthorized flash drive to be operational on my PC.

• A protection against a big data security threat

  mariecmoles73October 7, 2013

  Pros

  Blocks all USB drives and other portable drives from operation

  Cons

  Probably perfect with no cons

  Summary

  Employees can never be trusted blindly and as research suggests that the insider threat to data is even bigger than the threat from hackers. I use USB Block to keep my data secure from any sort of data theft.

• I have a reliable data protection

  RobertmontzJuly 7, 2013

  Pros

  Blocks all the unwanted portable devices

  Cons

  Does it matter?

  Summary

  Being an IT professional, it is one of my responsibilities to protect data from being leaked. We had an incident of data breach where an employee carried our company's data easily in his personal USB drive. Since then, we were trying to figure out some solution to avoid such incident to happen ever again. USB Block does that for me now. It is reliable and easy.

• USB BLOCK OFFERS PERFECT SECURITY FOR MY DATA

  mark_baker44May 10, 2013

  Pros

  USB Block provides security against any attempt of data breach through portable storages devices.

  Cons

  Very easy to use!

  Summary

  I had a free trial of USB Block and tried my best to break its security. But, I could not do that. I am pretty sure now that the delicate information saved in my PC cannot be stolen through any portable storage drives.

• A better alternative to other software.

  evan_quarlesNovember 15, 2012

  Pros

  Saved us thousands of dollars in development costs

  Cons

  it exactly what we needed, no reason to complain.

  Summary

  I run my own consulting business; I have around 20 employees who help me run my business. After one of my patrons became a victim of identity theft, I felt responsible; as a result, I began looking into developing organization specific anti-data-theft software. The estimate was way out of our budget and I wondered if there was an alternative solution. That's when I discovered USB Block. It seems that USB Block is engineered to block all and any attempts against data theft. So far, USB Block has been proven a lifesaver for business. If you have faced a similar problem - employees stealing company data- then get this software - it really works!

• Flawless security, that is also quick.

  JohnPinzon661May 25, 2012

  Pros

  Quick Password Protection.

  Cons

  Fast as hell.

  Summary

  Just downloaded the trial version of this software and I have to say this USB locking software is the fastest I've seen in its class. I am going to purchase it, because speed is all that matters to me!
