Pen drives and external hard disks have been a boon for everyone. They are the simplest, most hassle-free and effective means of data transfer. But they also have their cons. To use them is to give instant access to viruses from one system to another, so they have also become e-germ carriers! The iKill freeware works by scanning your drives for the presence of removable drives. When found, it scans them thoroughly and make sure that your system stays infection-free. And if you enable the AutoProtect mode, it will also delete the harmful files on the drive on its own.

FrostWire is a rip-off from the famous Limewire and, as such, it functions exactly the same wat. When you search for a file using FrostWire, you get results from LimeWire, and vice versa. However, the user experience differs in two ways. One is that the file you search is based on LimeWire Pro, the paid version, so you needn’t worry about simultaneous download restrictions, and won’t get bombarded by ads!
