How to lock a directory in a USB Flash drive

[Indratej]

Hi guys I am having a 32GB flash drive. I usually use it to store many downloaded tools and utilities for my computer system which is running Windows XP. But whenever I plug in the flash drive to my computer, the antivirus installed in my computer detects some utilities and tools as some kind of viruses and delete them permanently. So I wanted to know is there any software by which we can lock our files and folders thus preventing the antivirus from detecting them and deleting them. Please reply to my thread and help me.

Yes, it is possible to lock your files and folders in directory thus preventing the antivirus from detecting your utilities and tools folders as a virus and deleting them. I make use of Folder Lock Software to meet my need to lock my important files and folders. Folder Lock is a very fast program which provides security to your files. With the use of Folder Lock you can password-protect your selected files. You can even lock, hide and encrypt large number of files and folders. You can also perform these actions on different Drives (Flash drives, memory sticks etc), images and documents. The protected files are Hidden, encrypted, and highly secure. You can’t delete them unless you have the access to them.

• USB-PC Lock – The USB-PC LOCK is a very good and popular security program which keeps your computer system protected from any unauthorized users. By using this software the user can deny access of any unauthorized USB to the computer system. USB can be detected when the user inserts the correct password on the security block-screen.

Dude you can also try these two folders:

1. Internet Lock - Internet Lock is a software which gives access control to the user to its internet and intranet connection, By using this software you can deny the programs from accessing the internet or any other internet ports. You can define your own rules, whm to allow access and whom to now.
2. Lock Folder XP 7.6.95 – it has got a very simple and attractive interface. You just have to drag and drop the files and folders which you wish to lock and protect . drag and drop your folders, rest of the work will be done by the application itself.
