UCanFixIt Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 If you Google for "secure usb ports how to", you will find several hardware and software solutions. I found this one to be most interesting; however, I have never tried it or had the need to use such software. Take a peek and see if it might work for you: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Lockdown/USB-Port-Locked.shtml Good luck, UCanFixit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
