Description
-----------
The program is intended for restricting read or write access to removable
media devices such as CD, DVD, floppy and flash, as well as for restricting
access to partitions of hard disk drives.
There is an ability to secure your data by two ways: hide your devices or lock
access to them. You should enter a password to gain access back.
Your data on media will not be encrypted or altered in any way, therefore if
you have lost or forgotten your password, you'll never lose your data stored
on the protected media.
Moreover, it works much more faster than any other software using
cryptooperation mechanisms. The main purpose of the program is restricting
an ability of copying data between removable media and hard disk drives as well
as denying access to the media itself.
It will also allow you avoid many of headaches connected with unauthorized
software installations from any removable media. It also prevents data leak
by removable media.
