How can you Safely Use Pen can drives?
Problem occur while using pen drives
Spreading of virus through pen drive is quite often. When u copy some data’s from other computer then chance of spreading virus is quite often.
AM I safe with an anti virus and update regularly?
Not completely because all anti virus are made for some virus. Every anti virus is not capable of removing all viruses.
Solution
First of all you need to install a new OS .Say for example UBUNTU .Note that second OS will not be any version of primary OS.
It is better using any Linux OS because. It is open source and virus free. Now when ever u wants to plug a pen drive Log onto Secondary OS and open pen drive. Then you can see all files in the pen drive including virus files. Normally in windows these virus files are hidden and thus we cannot see. Delete that files and search whether it is present in other folders. Remove if it found there.
How will you identify a virus?
Case 1: - It is not a difficult task. Consider u had copied only mp3 songs from other computer. Then any other files see other than mp3 type are viruses.
Note: - There may be 1 hidden files “thum.db” which is not virus .its thumb nail image of that folder.
Case 2:- if u copied images or video files case 1 is true here.
Case 3: - If copied software .Now thing will be more difficult. Here u needs to know virus files name in advance. If found delete it .If u don’t know virus name then use another method. Normally virus are presented outside all the folders . and that would be found in all folders too. Try to find all and delete it
Now Enjoy safely using pen drive and save Pc from Viruses
