Protect Pen Drives from Viruses :)

Viruses in pen drives !!! It has been as common as the sun rising in the east :) And how annoying is that... So here are two ways to deny access to viruses to your pen drives.

1. Make Use of Software Restriction Policy

Use software restriction policy in group policy. You can restrict the access of all the programs or executable files in USB pen drive through this policy.

When you want to access the executable files you are sure of no harm, you can turn off the restriction. This is a wonderful way to protect your pen drive from viruses.

2. Force Folder

Use the "Force Folder" feature in Sandboxie. This feature will make all the program / executable files in the folder you have chosen to run in Sandbox.

For example, the drive of your USB pendrive in your computer is H:. Then you can set H: as force folder, and all the programs in H drive will be run in Sandbox.
