Crushdepth Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Infected USB sticks are the most common way people catch things at my work now. Every time someone goes to a meeting there is this rampant exchange of infected USB sticks. In future I will only buy models with a 'read only' switch. A good thing for Windows users to do is to turn off autorun for removable drives. You can do that with the TweakUI power toy (google it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
