The PC has no access to internet
The virus infections are in most probability from USB flash drives
Will this work - put a windows login password (win xp) to restrict access
My question is, If you are not logged in - and someone inserts an infected USB flash drive, does the virus still travel to the hard drive

Another route I am planning is disable the USB ports
But I need one USB connection, which I plan on connecting from motherboard internally - not sure how it will work out
Disinfecting the system is not an issue
Issue is now to prevent future infections.
I do not have control over who is pushing what usb flash drive into the PC

Just so you know:
From TechSpot (March 13, 2013); http://www.techspot.com/news/51929-critical-windows-usb-exploit-allows-flash-drives-to-grant-root-access-patch-issued.html
"Microsoft's Patch Tuesday yielded an interesting security fix for a glaring vulnerability in how the Windows kernel handles USB device enumeration. The critical vulnerability allowed potential hackers with physical access to a Windows PC to run arbitrary code with system user privileges -- even while Windows was locked and users logged off."

So if you don't have this MS-patch, then you may very well get nailed.

Some iT's fill the external ports with epoxy...the only fool-proof idea I've tried.
If you believe this is intentional, hide a pinhole camera (running independently of the target PC) to capture the room/PC and get evidence.

Statistics show that many crimes have been declining over the last decade.?

Statistics show that many crimes have been declining over the last decade. Why do you think we are seeing a decline in crime?Do you believe that the statistics are accurate?


Answer
The "Truth in Sentencing" laws are keeping criminals in jail longer so they're not out on the street continuing to commit the high crimes. There have also been tremendous increases in law enforcement personnel and security measusre such as cameras in high risk areas.


And good citizens are purchasing more firearms for personal protection and posting security signs, motion detectors, alarm systems, security cameras and motion-detecting cam-cords in and around their homes.

Yes, I do believe the statistics, and although violent crimes are decreasing, non-violent and petty crimes are increasing.

And though there is a national decline in homicides, murder is on the rise in the suburbs and other areas not traditionally associated with high rates of violent crime, According to the Wall Street Journal Report Jan 1, 2013. The rise is the result of criminals looking for easier targets outside inner city areas where police presence has increased in recent years.

According to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics there was a 16.7% drop in homicides in big cities - (notice the qualification - in big cities) due largely to aggressive pollice patrol in cities like New York, Los Angeles BUT during the same period homicides rose 16.9% in their outlying suburbs.
