USB USB devices might be essential things in our modern lives these days. They can be used to stored documents, play multimedia files, applications and even Operating Systems for emergencies. And as you can see, there are more and more tools which are designed exclusively for USB devices. In this post, I tell you 7 tools that are free and can power up your USB devices.

02. Panda USB Vaccine allows users to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable AutoRun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute. The Panda USB Vaccine also can be used on individual USB drives to disable its AUTORUN.INF file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks the AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified.
