Indeed, USB filters are half-way done at the moment. AFAIR, the only useful feature they provide is to distribute USB devices between VMs. In other words, you can specify which VM the particular USB device should be automatically given to when it is attached to the host computer or when a VM is started and the device is already there. You can also set up a global filter (using VBoxManage) that will hide matching devices from VMs, but it only applies to devices attached during VM runtime -- global filters are skipped when processing already attached devices. This makes them useless for your case (hiding permanently attached devices). Anyway, the new USB filter design is planned and it will definitely take the above issues into account. -- Regards, Dmitry A.
