A Universal Serial Bus (USB) dock for connecting a USB data storage device to a computing network. The USB dock includes a chassis for coupling the USB dock to the computing network, at least one panel coupled to the chassis, and at least one USB port coupled to at least one of the panels. The USB port indicates when a USB data storage device is connected to the USB port. The USB dock includes an operating system for booting the USB dock, for creating a table associated with the connected USB data storage device and for initiating an antivirus scan of the connected USB data storage device. If the antivirus scan detects a virus on the connected USB data storage device, an option of removing the virus from the connected USB data storage device is provided. If the detected virus is not removed from the connected USB data storage device, the USB port to which the USB data storage device is connected is disabled, thereby preventing the virus from entering the computing network. If the detected virus is removed from the connected USB data storage device, the operating system generates a token associated with the USB port to which the USB data storage device is connected. The token allows for enablement of the USB port to which the USB data storage device is connected. When the token expires, the USB port to which the USB data storage device is connected is disabled, thereby preventing enablement of the USB port to which the USB data storage device is connected.
