Comments on: How To Write Protect Your USB Flash Drive

I just tried this, and it isn't quite what it says it is. It doesn't write protect the drive itself, just tells the computer it's plugged into not to write to it. If you write protect it, then move it to another computer, you can write to it all you want. If that computer has viruses, it won't be protected. I doubt that putting the program on the drive will help. I would expect that a virus will see windows notification that a new drive has been installed, and the virus will write to it immediately.

This is useless. I need to writeprotect the usb so that I dont get viruses on other computers. Why do I want it only writeprotected on my machine?
