Developer’s Description

Secure and password protect USB and external drives.

USB Secure helps you password protect USB drives, Thumb drives, Memory cards, External drives and Flash drives. It supports plug and play and runs automatically once a USB drive is plugged in, asking you the password for it. USB Secure is hassle free and it doesn't need a rocket scientist to master.

USB flash drives are the most popular way to move data from one PC to another. They are small in size but can carry gigabytes of data. They are easy to use, convenient, affordable, but at the same time they pose a security risk and can be easily lost, stolen or misplaced. A secure USB drive with password protection is a must these days as the data that it contains may cost you millions of dollars if stolen or lost.

With USB Secure your USB flash drives and all other external storage devices can be very easily password protected. An easy to use setup program will guide you to put the program on your USB drive. It can automatically detect all such drives currently plugged into your PC. After installing simply run the software, and set and confirm a password to protect USB drive and all the data in it.To access your data again, it is important that you plug-in your USB drive into the computer and choose the Open this USB drive with password option from the Windows Autoplay that pops up every time you plug-in your USB drive. You can also double click the USB drive in your PC to launch the program. To unprotect your secure USB drives, click Unprotect and enter correct password to access your data again.Another great feature of USB Secure is that it doesn't require any Administrator rights to run and therefore there is no need to install it at the other end to retrieve the protected data. The program also supports plug & play and ask for a password immediately when the drive is plugged-in.

Customer support was helpful
RonaldHanson05October 13, 2015
Pros
Professionally developed software
Cons
so far so good
Summary
I've tried similar software which "claimed" to be the best, but USB Secure is perhaps the best one out of the lot. If you don't have a lot of money to spare on an encrypted USB drive, I suggest you buy this software. I was a little confused as to how to go through the setup process -but Michelle in customer support was very helpful, and she emailed me to-the-point instructions. This company truly cares about it customers. Wish other companies like these existed!
Convenient security

Pros
Quick installation
Cons
None so far
Summary
I was looking for a way in which I could lock all my folders on my external drive, so I began searching for USB security software. USB secure was the first result that popped through. In the past, I had tried experimenting with different software but there were not as good as this one. This is the most professional one I have tried.
Really Bad Software
marc 4435October 9, 2015
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
If needed I can proof it with e-mails back and fort and screenshots too. Just use Truecrypt it is somewhat faster then Veracrypt and yes, you have to make containers but it works. I used Truecrypt for many years and never had a problem with it except it is a pain to always create containers. Well, I guess I should have stayed with it on this stick too. Truecrypt is not developed anymore but Veracrypt is and it is somewhat slower at the start up, otherwise so far no problems either. The PNY was a new stick, put data on it and then used USB secure, it never had any other encryption software on it.
Summary
I installed the trial version latest 2.03 on a USB stick PNY 128GB. After install and locking the stick, I wanted to unlock and it will not unlock anymore. Worse after trying a view times I had only 1 trial left of 3 and after trying to see what is on the stick from Lock/Unlock window it came back "trial expired you have to buy the full version". Contacted customer support took 2 days for reply and they want to access my computer. For what? the program is on the stick not the computer. Gave them screen shoots they still insist on checking my computer. After additional 3 days back and fort, every day 1 message, still insisting to access my computer, well, I am out. Don't even get a trial version from this guys, it's a bad business and your stick will be locked for good for unknown reasons. Truecrypt or now Veracrypt works and it is free. I just taught they have a better mousetrap, I guess the mouse is trapped. I formatted the stick and it works perfectly fine minus what was on it.

Works as advertised

Pros
It's simple to setup
Cons
Costs money
Summary
Even though I prefer not to pay for software, in this case I had no choice. My girlfriend had been going through my external hard-drive and I felt I had no means of preventing her from doing so. After doing research for hours on end I found this nifty little software. Even though I wish it was free, I decided to purchase it because I really needed it. So far, I don't regret my decision to buy it, it does what I need it to do and that is all that matters at this point.
30 dollars through the gutter

doesn't protect your sensitive data at all
Summary
About USB Secure (version 2.03) the manufacturer claims the following: - "Fool proof without backdoors" - "Multiple layers of security prevent criminals from accessing your receptive files and folders" - "Patent pending protection methods ensures your data will remain secure under all circumstances" - "New USB Secure update promises better protection from more sophisticated attacks" Well, I can assure you that those are merely hollow phrases, because ANYONE - without being a specialist or sophisticated - can get access to those secured data, without using whatever decrypting tool, just by means of any data compression/extraction program (e.g. 7zip or WinRar): - Open Windows Explorer and unhide hidden files and folders - Select the USB flashdrive which has been 'secured' with USB Secure - Right-click on the hidden folder Thumbs.ms and add it to an archive with the data compression software - Save the archive (Thumbs.ms.rar or Thumbs.ms.zip) onto a different drive (e.g. your hard disk) - Open the archive with the data compression software - Double-click on the folder Thumbs.ms - Double-click on the folder that starts with COM1 - Double-click on the folder that has an unreadable, gibberish name - Voila, you will see the 'secured' files/folders and are able to extract (and open/read) them anywhere you like... That makes this product a worthless piece of junk.
