| 1203998 | 2011-05-21 20:00:00 | I know some if not most USB drives u buy these days come with a built in security software so you can password protect USB data contents. Are there software for just ordinary flash drives that dont come with a password security feature that you can install on and make it secure? I would prefer a free one. Someone mentioned using Win 7 to encrypt it. But i dont know much about that and how its done. I will be using the drive on mostly XP and Win 7 OS as part of my daily usage of drive so whenever i plug it in , i will be prompted for password before accessing data on drive Thanks |
