USB Flash Drive Security
Two questions:
1. Is it possible for a USB flash drive without an autorun.inf file to infect a system with malware once the USB flash drive is mounted? 2. What software do you use to guard yourself against this? Thanks!

Re: USB Flash Drive Security
No, as long as you don't attempt to run the file. Here is a malware sample I've had on my Flash drive for a couple of days. It can sit there forever and not bother anyone unless clicked-to-open:
Also, if the drive is not the U3 type, even with an AutoRun.inf file you are safe because it won't execute any way. ---- rich Last edited by Rmus : January 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 AM. |

Re: USB Flash Drive Security
If i buy a U3 i always reformatt and remove it so it's a single Pen Drive, on the other hand i also been gathering at great discounts Kingston 2 GB's at a whopping 5 dollars at Walmart.
