Getting tired of installing anti-virus programs that mess up your system, or do you have to do a quick fix on a system and you cannot install one of the classical anti-malware applications? Well, now there's a very easy solution, VaccineDrive from Iocell, which combines the portability of a USB drive with a powerful anti-virus engine.

The greatest advantage offered by this device is its user-friendliness. Practically, all one has to do is plug the VaccineDrive into the target system's USB port, and the software packed on it will do the rest,
discovering and removing all types of malware (viruses, adware, spyware, etc.) from the system. Moreover, if the device is plugged-in, it can also be used as a real-time anti-virus solution.

The producers of VaccineDrive have also taken into consideration the high frequency at which new viruses appear on the Internet, a very serious trend in the online world during the past few years, and that is why the virus definitions used by the device's anti-virus engine can be updated (for free, for two years after the purchase), by connecting to the company's servers. Moreover, some other applications can be loaded onto the VaccineDrive, by connecting to the C2 servers, and also personal data, since the drive offers enough storage space for them as well, while sporting quite a respectable transfer rate (480 Mbps).

These are the VaccineDrive's technical specs, according to information supplied by the manufacturers:

Storage capacities: 128 MB/ 256 MB / 512 MB / 1 GB / 2 GB / 4 GB;
Interface : compatible with USB2.0, USB1.1;
Power: USB Bus-powered (4.5 - 5.5 V);
Data retention: longer than 10 years;
Dimensions: 57.2 x 18.1 x 10.6 mm;
Weight: 9g.
