Keep Track of Usb Devices Inserted in your PC

Windows is an operating system that has the ability to record previous activities carried out in your system. All of us computer savvy people are well aware of how to get a sneak peek into web browsing history and view hundreds of cookies linked with all websites seen. We’re also pretty grateful to all programs that help us to delete such information and guard our privacy.
Most folks, I’m sure are oblivious to the fact that our operating system keeps track of all USB devices that were once inserted at any point of time or those that are currently connected to the PC too! By courtesy Nirosoft we have access to a freely available, handy program that can be easily downloaded.
For detailed information and queries you can look up at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page to Download.
This program, which is around 1MB in size helps a user to extract all this information, scrutinizes specific details and summarizes it in a table. It can successfully run on Windows XP and higher, on any 32 and 64 bit processor without a problem.

clicked from a PC, it is visible that it covers:
The device description: It can be a mass storage, Generic Bluetooth, Virtual Box USB, 3ComOfficeconn.
Type: Mass Storage, Bluetooth Specific, Vendor specific
Connected: Yes/No
Safe to unplug: Yes/No
Disabled : Yes/No
USB Hub: Yes/No
Drive letter: Yes/No
Among other things, which aren’t mentioned above the device’s name, its serial no date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, is included. This provides utility to find out whether somebody secretly used your computer system, inserted any external device and copied out personal or private details without letting you know. In other words, it’s a safety trap about which the culprit may himself not be aware of!
In my opinion, it is an effective trouble shooting tool. USB Deview is a small utility that not only stores a lists of all USB devices that are at the moment connected to your computer, or just the one’s previously used, but in addition:
USB Deview also allows one to uninstall other USB devices that were previously used
To disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your system
To disable and enable other USB devices.
USB Deview can also be used on a remote computer, as long as you login to that computer as an administrator-user.
