There are software methods to keep someone from copying data from your computer via USB ports and to keep them from uploading viruses and malware to your system via USB. Those systems are probably too complex for the average computer user. A physical method of blocking access to USB ports would be much easier, and I’m not talking about a security guard.ThinkGeek has a USB Security lock that looks like a normal flash drive. However, this device places solid blanks into your USB ports that make it impossible to connect USB drives to the notebook or PC. The USB lock can only be removed with the USB Security Lock tool. The device comes with four USB locks, which would be enough for most notebook computers. The device is available now for $9.99. About Everything USB
