Portable Write Protector For USB pendrive

If you plan to open a document in your USB pendrive using a computer that might be breeding ground for USB viruses and malware, it would be wise to enable write-protect on the pendrive to prevent it from being infected by those threats. Enable write protect means you disable any change to be made to the files and sectors of the pendrive. There are several methods to do that but I found out using a portable write protector software is the easiest.

Portable USB WriteProtector by Werner Rumpeltesz will get the work done. It is compatible with all Microsoft Windows Operating systems up to Vista. Extract the .rar file (187kb) to the location where you want to access this software. Launch it from there.
