At school, there is a large network with lots of non-technical minded people and lots of viruses. How can I protect my flash drive from these worms and viruses so I don’t bring them home and infect my home computers?
Solution:
- Configure your home pc to never autorun USBs when they are mounted
- Keep a policy to never get home executable programs from school
- get compilable sources and recompile
:-) - if you need tools from the web download straight from home
- get compilable sources and recompile
- Keep the USB connected at school for a minimum time when transferring data
Of course, if you are happy with moving data from home to school
and never want to get any back home.
Just format the USB every time you get it back from school.
