Abstract
A universal serial bus (USB) disconnection switch system, method, and computer program product are provided. In use, it is determined that a USB port integrated with a computing device is in electrical communication with at least one hardware component of the computing device via a data bus. Additionally, it is determined that a first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied. Further, a switch is controlled to disconnect the data bus from the at least one hardware component of the computing device, based on the determination that the USB port is in electrical communication with the at least one hardware component via the data bus and the determination that the first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied.
