[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 824093, member: 32260"] [USER=51905]Evjl's Rain[/USER], I am curious why in some countries there is a problem with infection via USB drives (which is a well known fact). This vector of infection has some downsides: [LIST=1] [*]The malware is usually checked twice (or more) by AVs - someone has to download it from the Internet and share with others via USB drive. [*]The moment of downloading from the USB drive usually happens a few days later. [/LIST] It seems that it is not easy to be infected this way, except when sharing many executables downloaded via torrents from shady websites (usually pirated games, software cracks, etc.). That was the case in my country some years ago, but it is not a problem now. How popular is Windows 10 in your country? [/QUOTE]
