In my earlier post we had discussed that how to secure your data in our USB Flash Drive using Truecrypt and Rohos Mini Drive software. But how to save your USB Flash Drive from getting infected from virus when the system you are working with is infected with malware or viruses. The commercial software available for this is quite expensive.
ThumbScrew can help you to turn your USB Flash Drive in Read and Write mode with one click. Download and install ThumbScrew in the system and make the USB Flash Drive read only before you insert your USB Flash Drive.
Be assured that it will remain read only until you change it to write mode and also save your USB Flash Drive from getting infected from viruses.
You can also opt for the another software M2CFG USB WriteBlock. This is also free software for Windows. The utility takes advantage of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 ability to toggle write protection on/off USB devices.
The write protection applies to ALL USB devices attached to the system. It is not possible with this application to select a single USB device. The software has little memory footprint and pretty small download size 1.99 MB only. Download it from here.
