USB flash drives are excellent for transporting files, but they can also be used to steal sensitive data. Disabling all USB ports is not an effective solution, because it will prevent you from using other devices, like cameras or scanners. With USB Disabler Pro, you can block USB flash drives on your own computer or remote machines, without affecting other devices. The application gives you the possibility of granting or denying access to specific USB sticks, for individual users.

USB Disabler Pro is free to try for a limited period of time. The trial version doesn't have any restricted functions, so you can properly evaluate the application's capabilities. It can be installed in a matter of seconds, on any modern Windows platform.

Once installed, the application will launch automatically and it will ask you to select a user or group of users who have access to USB devices. USB Disabler Pro works silently in the background, but you can bring up its user interface by clicking a system tray icon. If a USB flash drive is plugged in, the application will alert you immediately and it will let you decide to block or allow the device.

If you change your mind about a drive, you can move it from the allowed list to a blocked list or vice-versa, on the application's interface. You can also set USB Disabler Pro to run completely silent, without displaying any warnings and choose to allow USB drives for administrators or block them for all users, including administrators.

The best part is that USB Disabler Pro can "remember" individual USB drives, based on their unique IDs. If you decide to allow or block a specific USB drive, the application will not prompt you for anything when you plug in that device again, at a later date.

Pros

You can block specific USB drives for individual users. The application logs each device's unique ID, so you don't have to make any settings for each device more than once.

Cons

You can't shut down or uninstall the application through conventional means. USB Disabler Pro can prevent anyone on your network from stealing important data with USB flash drives.
