LG Vaccine USB Drives Purge Viruses
With a million and one different flash drives available on the market these days, it was simply a matter of time before features other than speed and storage space became prominent. LG seems to have figured this out and have brought two new flash drives to the market, at least in the UK.
For those looking to reduce the risk associated with data loss/theft, LG created the biometric USB drive that features a built in fingerprint scanner. It will store up to 10 fingerprints for authentication in case you want to share your drive with someone or manage to misplace one of your fingers. It also can utilize a password for those that wear tin-foil hats and worry a little too much. If that just isn’t your cup of tea then maybe you are a little scared of viruses and malware taking control of your computer by traveling through your flash drive. Ironically this is something that I thought we would have seen more of by now, but very few malicious attacks have occurred this way. The LG Vaccine seeks to stop it before it really takes off with its “plug and auto-run” protection. It comes with a two year license and they will release pricing for license renewal at a later date.Permanent Link
