These thumb drives aren't your standard portable storage devices. Sure, they could carry around a few albums and videos for you, but they're designed for a higher purpose.

That's because they're "virus vaccines," loaded up with anti-virus and anti-spyware software to rid your computer of whatever ails it. As anyone who's had a virus infection can tell you, the hardest part about clearing it off is getting the tools onto your computer, as the virus will oftentimes screw up your internet connection and make it near impossible to do the basic cleanup. By putting the necessary tools on a thumb drive, you can simply plug it in and let it do its thing. And sure, you can still load it up with files, but you might as well keep it around to do its stated purpose just in case. — Adam Frucci
