USB memory sticks are useful for easily transporting, copying or moving files between computers. All the information you copied from your main computer is there, ready to be accessed at the click of a mouse.
Which is great but unless you take steps to make your USB drive secure then anyone else can access all your files as well.
And, unless you're not storing anything you want to keep safe, that's not a good idea.
Which is where USB security software comes into its own.
With a simple to use program, you can make the data on your USB memory stick safe from prying eyes but
also keep it easily accessible when you want to open or copy a file from your password protected USB drive.
There are lots of different software programs available which will protect your USB drive. But it pays to check out what they offer.
Some offer an all-or-nothing approach, so you can either protect your whole USB drive or not. Fine sometimes but definitely not flexible.
Some USB protection products haven't been updated for a while and may not cope with the ever increasing size of flash drives. Worth checking as if the technology continues its current growth, this year's high end USB drive will be next year's entry level one.
So take your time to check whether your intended flash USB security software will work for you - ideally with a test drive option so that you don't have to take the sales page's word for what it can do. Failing that, a refund guarantee is OK but more hassle than just pressing the delete key.
