  • 1.  Blocking certain files from USB

    Posted Oct 12, 2009 03:28 PM
    I want that virus should not install on my computer from Flash Drives.At the same time i want that Users should be able to use their pen drives.
    So i want that the users cannot install any program from their USB drives.

    So it is possible that i can block these types of files to run from my USb drives?
    *.exe, *.MSI, *.msp, *.inf, *.sys and *.dll
    the only option i see is eiher block the whole USB drive and allow or block type of USB drives
