Virus Scan for USB Secure

Genie au Travail Nothing about licence activation in the licence policy ?

encryption algorithm used ?

Can I use protected USB drives on any computer ?

How can I uninstall the software from an USB drive ?
I have made some tests (the results are good) but I haven't find any way to uninstall the software without formatting again the drive.

The licence policy indicates that the software can be installed only on one computer but there is no install on the computer, just on the USB drive of my choice.
Also, how the licence policy works with USB drives ?

NewSoftware's Inc. A single user license of USB Secure is good for only one USB/External drive. For every drive more than one, you will have to purchase that number of additional licenses.

USB Secure doesn't provide encryption, it protects your data by using a different protection technique designed by the engineers at NewSoftwares, Inc.

Yes, since USB Secure gets installed directly on your USB/External drive, you can use it on any computer

Genie au Travail Thank you for the answers.

It is interesting to know that the licence is by USB drive, not by computer...

And about uninstallation ?

Jason Howard "if you want to install USB Secure on multiple computers you will have to purchase multiple licenses."

This sounds wrong...

For a student who takes a USB drive to computers across classrooms, and libraries all over campus - I guess this would require the purchase a few hundred licenses to protect a single USB drive?

-
Is there no footprint (user or program files or registry settings) created or left behind on the host PC?

Is the filesystem structure modified in any way (made invalid or non-standard), that a defrag or disk check/fix could trash the data on the USB drive?

Genie au Travail It's impressive!
It's the first time I see a software mount a virtual drive without to have need to install a driver.
All other solutions that I have tested needs a driver to get the same result.

Great work!

NewSoftware's Inc. @Jason Well, you do not have to purchase separate license for USB Secure to use it on different computers. USB Secure gets installed directly on your USB/External drive and you can use it on any computer without any additional licenses.

Genie au Travail I have purchase a licence and I have a question for the developper:
Is there a way to exclude some files and folders from being protected on the USB drive ?
Something like a 'white list"...

Jason Howard When protecting or unprotecting files on the USB are any files copied to the hard drive on the host computer?

I would like to think that if the files are secure that extra (working?) copies of the files are not made anywhere other than on the USB drive.

Jason Howard My second question relates to data integrity and safety of the secured data.

Is the filesystem structure on the modified in any way (made invalid or non-standard), that a defrag or disk check/fix could trash the data on the USB drive?

I know that windows sometimes likes to check the USB filesystem and if it finds errors - offers to repair. I'd like to know that a windows repair or defrag isn't going to trash my secured data, because the hidden files appear as invalid or disk errors.

John Gee 1) If I use it to secure a 1 Terrabyte external USB drive, and want my backup software to be able to update files on that drive, do I need to enter the password for each file? Or just once to open the drive.

2) If there are 500,000 files on that drive, is it going to take 10 minutes to un-lock?

The concept appears great, but there are some devils in the details.

Ralph Bressler I just glanced at my desk and saw 7 USB drives. I have more! As I understand it, if I want to protect all these devices I would need to pay about $120. Granted, I would probably not need to protect them all but... I am glad I have never felt the need to protect data in this way and can "pass" on this expensive option.

Emil Kucera A single user license of USB Secure is good for only one USB/External drive.
Can it be taken off one drive to install instead on another one? Example: if I install it on an 8gig thumb drive for testing and I like it, can I then take it off that thumb drive and install instead on a 500 GB portable hard drive?

NewSoftware's Inc. Sorry everyone for the delay. Genie au Travail I am afraid it is not possible to exclude files from being protected.

Jason Howard No, files are not copied to any location on the host computer's hard drive, they always remain on your USB/External drive.

John Gee If you need to backup your files, all you need to do is unprotecct your drive only once by entering the correct password. Once your data is unprotected, your backup software will be able to backup all your files. Well, the protection and unprotection time depends on the number of files, not on the size of data.

Emil Kucera Yes, you can transfer the license to a different drive as far as you are using it only on 1 USB/External drive. You might need to contact our support department for that.

Alan Sawyer Yes, you can move the license to a different drive.

Wally L This piece of information is too late for this promotion period:

However it is more for reference purposes to anyone who may be interested in "USB Secure" that Zentimo by Crystal Rich Ltd. will not work because the file Zentimo.ini that is written to the root of the USB stick (or memory card with USB reader) will no longer be accessible by the Zentimo program if "USB Secure" is in use.

Although Jonathan Ladd hasn't confirmed this, Michelle from NewSoftware Inc has eventually confirmed it)

Perhaps they may come up with a future release that will be able to exclude certain files in which case I'll buy a License('s) as fast as possible.

I have to highlight all the files on the drive and with one click I can encrypt them all.

What if you HD crashes, along with your SW? How about the USB drive? What if it crashes because of the proprietary SW?

Uh...........no.

J S Q1. is it Still Not Possible to use USB Secure & Zentimo together?

I asked this question last promotion because it qasn't clear at that time if the *.ini file placed in the USB root would work or not BUT I'm hoping that that has now been fixed.

Q2. If the answer to Q1 is NO then will USB Secure ever will able to work with Zentimo (zentimo.com)?

S B Proprietary encryption ("trust us!" or worse yet, "trust us with your corporate assets") *very severely* limits security and is typically very unattractive.

(I'm currently using 3 GB TrueCrypt volumes on USB drives)

May I ask a few important questions that I cannot find answers to on the USB Secure web site?

1) What is the level of security that USB Secure provides (protection from whom and for how long)? Is it designed for archival storage?

2) Are the file names, number of files, file sizes encrypted?

3) Is the user-entered password used directly for encryption, and how are passwords managed? Is there "salt" and how is "entropy" generated?

4) Are encrypted passwords stored in recognizable places?

Many thanks!

Bruce Questions
(1) Based on the screen shots, this looks very similar to a USB security app that was included on one of my new flash drives a while back (it is the same screen design of a stylized flash drive, same general layout, so I believe it to be the same program or vendor).
But I had a serious problem with that earlier version, in which once used and then attempt to remove (I did have the valid password) it would no longer allow access to the flash drive data space at all. And I had a difficult time of even trying to reformat the flash drive.
Question: does this new version fix the usability issue I experienced?

(2) Does this have cross platform usability when drive is secured with this encryption/security tool?
Can the data be accessed from both Windows and Mac?

Thank you.

NewSoftware's Inc. @Danny. USB Block and USB Secure are completely different products with their unique functionalities. USB Secure is designed to protect data on portable devices and USB Block works on the PC and prevent anyone from accessing USB drives, CD/DVD drives, non-system partitions and network locations from your PC.

@Tony. A single license is valid only for 1 USB drive and you must purchase a separate license for each of your drives. Yes, since USB Secure gets installed on your USB/External drive itself, you can plug-in this drive on any PC any protect / Unprotect your data.

@Bruce. I am not really sure which applications you might have used because, USB Secure doesn't come pre-installed on any portable device, it is possible that someone might have designed a similar interface for their program.

2. Currently USB Secure only works with all 32 and 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Q1. Can I now use USB Secure & Zentimo or USB Secure & "USB Safely Remove" together, OR, will this never be a possibility?

I have previously asked this question and thought that it may well be worth asking again. (For Your info: Zentimo & "USB Safely Remove" places a file in the root of the USB device which can be read and written too)

Mike Shanahan 1. Is this still proprietary "encryption"? If so, EVERY security expert will tell you this is bad news. I hope you can tell me you now use AES-256. If not - why not?

2. Is this still one license per drive? That's just not reasonable and why do you care how many devices I protect with the software? If people share the code, which few would, in 99% of the cases they wouldn't be buying your software anyway. Why not assume the best from your customers? You should consider allowing them to use on up to 5 drives per license (for example). Otherwise, it's a no go and you lose more people from the draconian licensing policies (who just won't but at all) than from cheaters sharing your code. That's just the truth,

3. I want to hear the sales pitch on why this software would be better than free solutions that are available. The price *seems* ridiculous to protect one flash drive.

4. Finally, what's up with "USB Secure" versus "USB Locker"? It's made to look like two different companies make these products. However, using the word "software" in a non-standard plural sense using the "s", same proprietary encryption, same draconian licensing, almost exact same phrasing, nearly cloned websites - and both also sell insecure worthless "locking" software along with their proprietary encryption products. Is "New Softwares" and "Softwares Orbit" one and the same? I have a hard time believing there's no connection at all. With security products it all comes down to trust.
