Once the CA software is installed, you can then use your credit card flash drive to carry around up to 2GB of data. The software works with Microsoft Windows Vista and the flash drive allows you to take advantage of Windows Vista ReadyBoost technology that can be used to speed applications and boot-up time for Windows Vista systems, the company says.

"These ultra-slim flash drives fit in your wallet just like a credit card - perfect for anyone who needs to access files on the go," said CA's George Kafkarkou.

The flash drives, manufactured by Ultra Products, Inc., for CA, work with Windows 2000, XP as well as Vista systems. The drives require one available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port with a USB 2.0 interface, but are also compatible with USB 1.1 ports.

CA says the typical transfer speed is 480 Megabits per second (Mbps) and the 2 GB of storage will become available after installation and deletion of CA software from the drive (70 MB for CA Internet Security Suite 2007). The drives also come with a limited lifetime warranty from Ultra.

The pre-loaded CA Internet Security Suite 2007 can be installed on up to three personal computers from the flash drive.
