The PC Guardian probably won't excite much interest from the home user (unless you've got some pretty hefty security concerns about members of your family), but we can see it catching the eye of security professionals with public terminals to protect. The entire kit, which comes in three pieces and totals about $25, locks down your computer's USB ports with a push-button lock and a plate combination, while using a cable guard lock to prevent removal of wanted USB peripherals like mice or keyboards. The PC Guardian website illustrates the kit in action, showing how the three pieces can disable the group of four USB ports that have become standard on the backs of desktop PCs. We think the PC Guardian is a clever idea, especially for small groups of lower-end desktops you'd see in a place like a public library, but we'd prefer a solution with just the cable guard, where you could lock up the port or ports you needed, and disable everything else in Windows.
