[QUOTE="RXZ6Q, post: 888424, member: 51334"] Hello. I just received a brand new USB drive from AliExpress. I highly doubt that they packed some zeroday rootkit with it :D I already scanned it with 4 (or more) antiviruses. Including my primary AV - and that is Kaspersky Internet Security 2020 with almost maxed out settings (Application Control is on). Every scan came out completely clean. I also performed a complete format (not the quick one). My question is, what more can I do to ensure that using the USB stick is safe? [/QUOTE]
