USB devices offer portability and durability of storing files and even applications. However, the USB device has become major hub for different viruses as they can auto-run in a computer. The virus can easily inject itself in the gadget especially if the user does not have an active anti-virus application.

The problem of viruses from automatically running from the USB device could be prevented with a simple application called Panda USB Vaccine. In gist, the function of the application is to prevent the USB device from auto-running in computers. This will allow user to run the anti-virus application in the specific USB device before it could be read by the computer. This might seem very simple but disabling the auto-run feature for USB devices is very difficult since Windows OS wanted this feature to allow easy installation of applications.

Panda USB Vaccine also comes with a small application called Computer Vaccination. This application works almost the same as Panda USB Vaccine. However, its focus is on other external device that might come with potentially harmful applications. CDs, DVDs and other external USB devices will be prevented from automatically running in the computer in order to prevent harmful auto-run applications in the computer.

The interface of Panda USB Vaccine is very simple. After installation, the interface gives you two options: run the USB Vaccine or PC Vaccination. These applications will immediately disable the auto-run features depending on which application you choose. Panda USB Vaccine may not be another anti-virus but it comes with a security feature that will prevent viruses from being installed in your computer.

Snowbird is a small application that could be used for file search and transfer. At first glance, this application might sound unnecessary since computers already have the capacity to search for specific files and transfer them to various destinations. While this is true, the ability to search and transfer files to different folders might not be as efficient as Snowbird. The default file transfer in computers does not have the capacity to pause and resume transfer of files. Once the user presses “cancel” during file transfer, users have to restart the processes again.

Snowbird is a file transfer application that allows users to pause file transfer. This type of application is very useful when transferring large files from various folders since users can temporarily stop the file transfer in case they need to use the computer. Because of Snowbird’s ability to transfer files efficiently, it might use up a large chunk of resources in the application. The search function of Snowbird is also very efficient since it will aggressively run through the file on the targeted folder. Again, the search function my slow down your computer for the sake of the search function. However, the search tool is very fast so you can sacrifice a small downtime just to get the file you need sooner.

The application may just be limited in two functions: file search and file transfer. But the developers of the application ensure that these functions will be a lot better compared to Windows OS search and transfer tools. The application is also very small as it focuses on file transfer instead of providing interactive features.
