USB Immunizer was launched by BitDefender exactly a year ago as a free complimentary security tool to protect the system against attacks using Windows’ autorun functionality.

Here’s an interesting Chrome add-on for Craigslist users …
If you like to buy stuff on the popular Craigslist website, you have probably noticed that it is not the easiest site to navigate and use. When it comes to monitoring specific searches for items that you are interested in, you can use Craigslist’s RSS feature to do just that.
