Free optical drive lock utility
Having the best antivirus solution in your office might not be enough to stop a major security breach. Somebody could easily insert a bootable CD into your optical drive and bypass the entire Windows password security scheme. You are also exposed to risk as malicious programs can be loaded from a disc, or files can be written onto recordable media. Propellerhead has a solution to this potential security banana skin in the form of the CD-ROM Lock utility that locks down all the optical drives as well as disabling the eject command. You can download this freeware utility here.
