Prevent or control use of USB flash drives (Windows)

Tiny flash memory drives that fit on a keychain (sometimes called thumb drives) are inexpensive and convenient for transferring files between Windows computers that aren't on the same network - but they can also present a security risk for your organization.
They can be used to bring viruses and unauthorized software in, or to smuggle sensitive information out. Luckily, there are software products, such as GFI's Portable Storage Control (PSC), that let you control the use of these devices on your network.
