A USB stick is very useful for storing and taking along with you personal and important information. But what if your drive gets stolen and data gets on the wrong hands? Thieves could find out your credit card numbers, passwords and could compromise your personal security. That's why it's a very good idea to protect your drive with a password because you never know when bad luck strikes. The problem is finding the right software for the job and at the same time, finding a program that cannot be hacked easily. The answer is USB Secure. The name refers to the functionality of the application, protecting your USB drive and the data it contains.

The installation part is very simple to complete and the software installs directly on the USB drive. No registry keys are added, nor system files are modified this way and the locking of the drive is operating system independent; no matter the computer where the USB drive is plugged in, the results are the same, as data will not be accessible without entering the right password.

Running USB Secure for the first time will display a message, asking the user to set the password for protecting the drive. Once this is done, the files and folders on the drive will be hidden and only entering the right password will reveal them. The information can be accessed as a virtual drive by entering the right password or it can be unprotected.

The encryption of USB Secure is very strong and difficult to break, even by the most advanced hackers. Not even booting into DOS will make the information available. Thus, users can feel safe, knowing that wherever their USB drive gets to, their personal data will remain hidden.

Pros

It's very efficient at encrypting data, as no operating system will display the hidden information, without entering the correct password.

Cons

Advanced users might want more features from this software. Besides that, loosing the password will make the data on the drive unrecoverable. USB Secure is a great tool for keeping your personal information stored on the USB drive, safe and secured.
