Managing your USB storage device access control

SecureAPlus lets users control how external USB storage devices are treated once they are inserted to your PC. As a security measure, read and/or write access can be disabled for all external devices as pre-defined by the user.

Users can also whitelist specific external USB storage devices and doing so will allow these devices to have full read & write functionality regardless of your selected settings.

Note: By default read & write to USB external storage devices are allowed.
