[QUOTE="Yellowing, post: 746600, member: 72894"] [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] Nah. I do image mine too. (With macrium free) After updating antivirus signatures, deactivating network (So that next time I use that image it doesn't go online immediately), pulling the cord and extensive AV scanning. :D But no, I have also never heard of malware targeting images. I can only assume I am not the first one coming up with something like that. And I don't think it would be particularly hard. :unsure: [USER=13550]@frogboy[/USER] Ok. But "safe computing" and "computer security" are different things. (To me) So "Yes for sure" doesn't make sense in this context. :X3: [USER=55987]@HarborFront[/USER] Exactly. :) [/QUOTE]
