Usb Memory Stick For Pc And Mac

To share a USB drive between a Mac and a Windows PC, there are two disk. If you have several drives, you can also tell which is the USB drive by its size in.

OK, let me explain why iam thinking about this.two days ago i was trying to remove a virus from someones PC and a REEEEAAAALLLLY bad virus copied itself onto my memory stick and since then i have accidently give that virus to 2 other PC's. Now to avoid this happening again i was considering to buy a SD card that has a 'write lock' on it so that i can load my anti-virus's and other clean-up stuff on it then switch the write lock so that i can only read from it (thus preventing a virus getting on there).

Then with that SD card i can put it in a USB thumb drive that has a built in SD card reader. Anyone have a better idea than this or is this my only option? Also enjoy some cheesecake! Simple, never let the USB device AutoPlay.

You know when you stick it in it askes you to 'open files' or 'open with windows media player'. Click the exit button.

Go to Control Panel>Folders Options>click view all hidden folders. From there go to My Computer and manually open the flash drive. If you see anything in that is out of the ordinary delete it. You will not transfer viruses if the device does not AutoPlay itself.

SgtMoreless That's about the best advice you can give anyone really. It is by far one of the easiest ways to stop viruses from transfering off of your thumbdrive onto your computer(s).

At that point you can simply scan your thumbdrive with any AV software you might have, which after working on someones infected computer, would have been the first thing I would have done. Here's some more really good info on what to do if you suspect your thumbdrive may be infected, and what to look out for taken from a helpful website I know. Whenever you plug a USB drive in your system, a window will appear similar to the one shown below Don't click on Ok, just choose 'Cancel'. Open the Command Prompt by typing ' cmd' in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter: and press enter. Now type dir /w/a and press enter.

This will display a list of the files in the pen drive. Check whether the following files are there or not Autorun.inf Ravmon.ext New Folder.exe svchost.exe Heap41a or any other exe file which may be suspicious. If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected.

In command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command delfilename. Example del Ravmon.exe. Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again.

In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the ' Autorun.inf' file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above. Thus the infections can spread.
