Nirsoft is well-known for releasing small yet useful freeware for Windows, and we have already covered much of it here on TWC. USBLogView is another free tool that will let you know when anyone has plugged or unplugged any USB device into a computer.
USB Log Viewer for Windows PC
USBLogView runs in the background and records the details of any USB device that is plugged or unplugged into your system. The details are recorded in a log. Moreover, you can easily select one or more log records and then export them into a CSV, tab-delimited, XML, or HTML file.
Every log line records the following information:
- Event Type (Plug/Unplug)
- Event Time
- Device Name
- Description
- Device Type
- Drive Letter / Serial Number
- Other details like Vendor ID, Product ID, Vendor Name, Product Name, etc.
So, if you’d like to keep a log of all the USB drives connected to your computer, visit nirsoft.net, download USBLogView, and see if you like it.
