Did you know you can transform your USB drive into a security key for your PC and lock it down by removing the USB device from the port? USB Raptor is an easy to use program that can be configured easily.

What’s the big deal about USB Raptor?

USB Raptor can lock the system once a specific USB drive is removed from the computer and unlock when the drive is plugged in again to any USB port. The utility constantly checks the USB drives for the presence of a specific unlock file with encrypted content. If this specific file is found the computer stays unlocked otherwise the computer locks. To release the system lock user must plug the USB with the file in any USB port. Alternative the user can enable (or disable) two additional ways to unlock the system such is network messaging or password.

USB Raptor is very easy to use, and you can start by assigning a password to the USB device and creating a lock file that will be stored on your removable drive.

Does it have any downside?

USB Raptor does not have any significant downside, and is very easy to configure and use even for the not-so tech savvy.
