[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 823795, member: 19756"] Definitely. You never know what flash drives are inserted that were used elsewhere, and that contain malware that WD did not detect. And you can't expect novice users to remember to scan flash drives using other programs, not to switch to another browser that has no adblockers in case they can't view a page properly, etc. Given that, it's best to use an antivirus, addons in browsers in default mode, and a set-and-forget backup system.
