Flash Disinfector | Protect Your Computer from Flash Drive Viruses

One way to shield your PC from viruses that come from your USB drive is through Flash Disinfector. It protects your PC from viruses and malware that run when you open your USB flash disk.

I'm quite amazed about how this tiny program can do a lot. I use it in conjunction with ESET SmartSecurity/Nod32 to best protect my computer.

UniBlue Driver Scanner 2009 | Install Drivers Automatically

If you have any problems installing your drivers, lost your driver installation CD, or tried installing drivers automatically from Windows Update but failed, then a good solution would be UniBlue Driver Scanner 2009. It automatically detects the specifications of your Motherboard and its parts, and it automatically looks for the right drivers and installs them.

This works if you're trying to find out the model and manufacturer of your motherboard.

This works if you're having problems installing Audio drivers for your PC.

This works for "driver not found" errors even after trying to update automatically.

I use this software after I reformat my clients' computers, since many of them no longer have their original driver CDs, and in some cases where the models are quite old and the drivers for their PCs are no longer supported.

This works great. Highly recommended.
