password protect data on your USB drive / pen drive

Our Rating: (Very Good)

Rohos Mini Drive enables you to create a secure, virtual partition on any USB drive, allowing you to have a portion of your drive password protected. You can define a custom size for the partition and it to securely store sensitive documents, while leaving the rest of the drive for non-sensitive files. Once unlocked you can access and use the secure volume just like any other drive and manage your files with Windows Explorer. When the drive is disconnected, the secure partition is hidden in a password protected executable and remains inaccessible until it is unlocked by you. The secure volume can be unlocked from any computer it does not require Administrative Privileges or Rohos Mini Drive to be installed. The program can create partitions up to 2 gigabyte in size, if you require larger volumes, a full version is available for purchase.

Dr.Web CureIt

on-demand virus scanner

Our Rating: (Good!)

Dr.Web CureIt is a standalone anti-virus and anti-spyware scanner that scans your PC for viruses, trojans, adware, spyware, hack tools, rootkits, and other malware. The program does not require an installation and can be run from a USB drive. This is an on-demand scanner only, it can detect and remove virus infections but does not provide any real-time protection. Dr.Web CureIt is based on the ICSA certified Dr. Web scanning engine and should provide reliable detection.

Pros: No installation needed; scans for a wide range of viruses

Cons: No real-time protection; updates require re-download of the entire program

Pen Drive Write Protection Problems!

I found a simple solution to enable your Pen Drive or USB Drive from write protection. I have been asked from a lot of friend about to release the lock. I search everywhere but found out that their solution didn't work. From the suggestion to use 'chkdsk f: /F' to using the safe mode and also use the Storage Administration. But all that cannot resolve the problems.... when you try to format or adjust it... the error message " Write Protection" keep appear. My first advive before u proceed with my solution... to copy over and backup the whole data first... Then.. Download a program.. this programs I only give to who require it... so leave your comment here and I'll show you how to do it....
