Protect My Disk

Protect My Disk is here to help you keep your data safe, especially when it comes to those pesky removable storage devices like Flash drives. We all know that the Internet can be a hotbed for malicious applications, but did you know that viruses can also hitch a ride on USB drives? A common culprit is the Autorun.inf file. That's where Protect My Disk steps in to safeguard both your Flash drives and your computer, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

How It Works

You might think that you need to install this application directly onto your removable drive, but that's not the case! Protect My Disk actually runs from your computer system. The main window is super simple but includes everything you need—like a list of connected devices and controls right at your fingertips.

Refreshing Your Devices

Just a heads up: after plugging in any Flash drives, make sure to hit the “Refresh” button manually. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t automatically detect new devices. And if you're looking to protect more than one device, you'll need to know its specific drive letter since it won't show detailed info in the list.

Status Indicators

Once Protect My Disk detects a drive, it shows its status as unprotected, infected, or secured. If you've got an infected device plugged in, though, it won't take any action unless you tell it to. It would be nice if there was some sort of alert when trying to open an infected drive!

Your Choices Matter

This means it's really up to you whether or not you want to clean up those drives. You just press a button and repeat this for any other items on the list. Plus, if you're creating custom Autorun.inf files and don't want to lose them, you can restore the volume back to its original state.

The Bottom Line

All things considered, Protect My Disk may not meet every expectation you'd have for software like this. There’s still some uncertainty even when it shows that a drive is protected. Plus, your system stays at risk since there's no warning if you try opening an infected drive.Download Protect My Disk today for better protection!
