[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 91261"] AS an IT repair guy, i often have to disinfect computer from malwares. So i need my tools to be on my USB to do my job, unfortunately some systems have malwares that infect my USB flash/pendrive right away after i insert it. Of course , i dont want to format my USB and recopy all my tools after each interventions... There is some solutions/alternatives to that like: - using a media disc (CD, DVD, etc...): of course it is safe but quite expensive if i need to update my tools. - using a USB with write-protected switch: the simplest method, but a bit pricey especially if you already have many USBs. the free solutions available are: [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Security/Encrypting/Windows-Portable-Applications-Portable-USB-WriteProtector.shtml][b]USB WriteProtector[/b][/url] [url=https://sites.google.com/site/mbentefor/proj_usbdefender][b]USB Defender[/b][/url] (i am using this one, thanks to Littlebits) [url=http://securityxploded.com/windows-autorun-disable.php][b]Windows Autorun Disable by SecurityXploded v.1.0 [/b][/url] [url=http://www.mcshield.net/][b]MCShield[/b][/url] with a discussion/info thread [url=http://malwaretips.com/Thread-MCShield?pid=115571#pid115571][b]Here[/b][/url] of course , they are not the perfect solutions, but better than nothing ;) [/QUOTE]
