UI and Performance (3 out of 5)
Due to the limitation in the trial version, the product’s feature cannot be tested during this review. Updating, scanning the USB, repairing the system registry and cleaning-up the disk are the features that we cannot test due to limitation.
The User Interface is quite neat and will not confuse you. The program also provides helpful information in using the program. However, it is using 6MB of memory which is too much for a program that does not allow you to scan or use the program’s features. Enabling and disabling the protection is not possible using the limited version.
Price to Value (1 out of 5)
At $55.00 per license, USB Disk Security is extremely expensive for such a limited application!
Conclusion
Most antivirus and anti-malware programs have the ability to protect networked and removable drives via USB using behavioral and signature detections. This program is not required if your anti-malware tool provide protections already.
