If you so desire you can then map those shared network folders to a drive letter on each client PC, thereby eliminating the need for strangers shoving external media in your client PCs.</p> <p>As for restricting access, it's all a question of setting permissions correctly for those profiles and thereby limiting access to non-C drives. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/block-access-to-local-drives-control-them-from-remote-server#post-3986 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 16:45:25 +0000 Anonymous 3986@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Hi Sparx,<br /> Thank you very much for the response. I've created user profile for customers (Limited Users). I cannot block access to external devices and CDs as many people want to take their work in Pen Drive. My only concern is that they should not copy our content which is stored in D, E Drives. Only I can access them through Network. (As the systems may be occupied by the customers I can't disturb them if I want something stored on the other system).</p> <p>I'm sure their must be some solution in the windows itself but I'm not sure about it. Any IT pros and system guys please help me. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3788 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:53:32 +0000 Anonymous 3788@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Comodo released Free Internet Security Suite</p> <p>The Comodo Internet Security package includes the award-winning Comodo Firewall Pro and Comodo’s highly-praised antivirus software.</p> <p>Download at: <a href="http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_cis.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_cis.html</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3760 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:41:56 +0000 Anonymous 3760@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Kaspersky is Awesome.</p> <p>Try this link to get Free License</p> <p><a href="http://www.kasperskyindia.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.kasperskyindia.com</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3755 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:18:52 +0000 Anonymous 3755@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>nod32 </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3709 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:52:28 +0000 Anonymous 3709@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Use Avast Home.

Instead of FolderLock use Windows' built-in Security settings [Right-click each folder and choose SECURITY &#38; Sharing] to restrict access only to one particular folder - say each user's "My Documents" folder which is where they can save all their stuff (temporarily).</p> <p>One more option is to install free software like <a href="http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/" rel="nofollow">Returnil</a> which will restore your PC's state each time it's restarted. Changes made during an active session are NOT stored. Protection can be turned on and off with a reboot as per the Admin's wishes.</p> <p>From the BIOS, you can disable the USB ports on your client PCs or simply unplug them from inside the case. That's safest. Of course, I'm assuming that you'll come to know when someone tries to fiddle with the USB ports at the back of the cabinet...Naturally, this won't hold true if your client PCs have some USB peripherals attached.</p> <p><a href="http://www.howtodothings.com/computers/how-to-disable-usb-flash-disk-mass-storage-devices-only" rel="nofollow">Here's how you can disable USB based removable storage devices by editing the Registry</a>.</p> <p>One last tip - learn to make use of the Group Policy Editor.

All the systems are installed with Windows XP Professional SP2. I want to control the hard disks in all the systems at the same time These drives should not be accessible by local users.</p> <p>Details:-<br /> -----------<br /> I'm using one system as Server (Specifications : Intel Pentium Dual Core processor, Mercury Mother board, 160GB seagate harddisk, 1GB RAM). I'm using Freeproxy to share the internet connection. (BSNL India Broadband)</p> <p>All other systems have AMD Sempron Processor, 512MB RAM, 80GB Hard Disk( Except System 2 which have 160GB Hard Disk).</p> <p>I've stored lot of data in all the systems and shared those drives to access from server. But I don't want my customers to access those data. Many times my customers use pendrives and may copy my data or they may upload to remote servers. I want to restrict them from accessing local drives, installing any kind of application or software and change any settings. At the same time I want to access those drives from my system2, system3, and system 4 from server.</p> <p>I've also shared some folders from server to access from other systems with guest account password(Shared folders are protected by guest account password).</p> <p>Till now I'm using folder lock software to block the drives. This will also restrict me accessing these drives from my server. Due to cost factors I cannot buy more harddisks. I want to utilize the resources already available.</p> <p>Is there any solution for this problem? Please help me to solve this issue. Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3518 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:22:55 +0000 Anonymous 3518@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Avast! is the best and free antivirus software(for non-commercial) <a href="http://technotip.org/recommending-avast-anti-virus/" rel="nofollow">http://technotip.org/recommending-avast-anti-virus/</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3475 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:13:14 +0000 Anonymous 3475@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>ASIDE:</p> <p>See <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/26/free-1-year-3-computer-ca-anti-virus-2008-license/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> if you're interested in a free 1 year subscription to Computer Associates' CA Anti-virus 2008.</p> <p>It's completely legal, so no hassles there. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3474 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:02:47 +0000 Anonymous 3474@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>First check out a couple of independent reviews / certifications.</p> <p><a href="https://www.icsalabs.com/icsa/product.php?tid=dfgdf$gdhkkjk-kkkk" rel="nofollow">ICSA Labs</a> and <a href="http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/index" rel="nofollow">Virus Bulletin's VB100 index</a> are good places to do some homework.</p> <p>Also take a look at the <a href="http://www.av-comparatives.org/" rel="nofollow">AV Comparatives site</a> for <a href="http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2008_08.php" rel="nofollow">comparisons</a> between AntiVirus software.</p> <p>There are a fair few number of choices here but as things currently stand Avira is seemingly better than both AVG and Avast.</p> <p><a href="http://www.free-av.com/en/products/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html" rel="nofollow">AntiVir Personal from Avira</a>. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/which-free-anti-virus-software-is-good#post-3471 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:10 +0000 Anonymous 3471@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Which free anti-virus software besides AVG 8.0 would you all recommend?
