Hi,
From time to time, i receive an usb stick from friends "you should check this out".
I am reluctant to just plug in an unknown usb stick or drive (even with a virusscanner installed)
I am looking for the safest way to check if these media are clean.
One idea was to download a live cd and burn it onto a bootable dvd.
Are there any distro's that can check usb sticks (and even "catch" virus/malware that spread upon plugging in) ?
Or is there a better way ?
thank you, Tom
