    maybe you can tray this

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR]
    "Type"=dword:00000001
    "Start"=dword:00000003

    change the value from : dword:00000003
    become: dword:00000004 to deactivate, meaning

    3 for enable and 4 for disable. without restart the PC

    The problem with this approach is that you get freezed against viruses and stuff...
    when the antivirus try to erase or remove the virus, malware, the file just can´t because this ReadOnly policy...
    so a better approach would be a selective policy for some programs...
    I give this piece of information to see if someone would have a solution.

    Thanks.
