[QUOTE="Tom BE, post: 717316, member: 70709"] 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 [/QUOTE]
