Protect USB

[nickbomb]

For those of you that know, the newton virus is available for purchase. My bud says hes gonna trick me, but i deny that. Is there any app that when you put in a usb device into mac that it requires password before it mounts/able to open?? thanks

This is a rather extreme solution. But I got this from here. It should do the job.

USB storage devices can be disabled by moving /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext outside of this folder, e.g. create a /System/Library/ Extensions_Disabled folder and move the .kext into here.

It's not a "virus": http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/10/the-mac-virus-that-isnt/

Don't worry about it, if he tricks you into it, have fun with it. It lasts 1 minute and it seems fun.
