[QUOTE="pneuma1985, post: 528420, member: 40827"] Thankyou dude yeah I dont necessarily download anything thats risky as far as .exe's or anything I think is an untrusted file except of course in a VM I'll download anything in a vm lol, but the real problem is I have alot of clients that I have to use a pen-drive with... Most of the time their computers are infected whether they know it or not. For example: I'm currently building a wordpress site for an 82 year old woman who makes jewelry. She has absolutely no security software of any kind on her laptop. She is completely computer illiterate. Yet I still have to deal with the client.
