Write access to a storage medium is controlled by monitoring an application, detecting an attempt by the application to write data to the storage medium, interrogating a rules database in response to the detection to determine the write access allowed for the application, and controlling write access to the storage medium by the application in dependence on the interrogation. The write access may have one of three levels: i) no write access allowed, ii) full write access allowed and iii) write access allowed to a specified file extension. If write access is not allowed, a prompt may be displayed requesting a response from a user. The user can respond to the prompt by choosing to allow or block the write access, or allowing write access to a specific file type. The user may choose to update the rules database with the chosen response.
