I do a lot of work on customers PC's and each time I use my flash stick it ends up riddle with Trojans  :huh: I don't know how companies cannot take better care of their networks  :hmm:

Most networks are pretty poorly set up in my experience.

Yes I must agree with you and I don't know about your side but the IT people this side all seem to have attitudes.  683 infections found so far on my flash disk  :whistle: I think I must get myself another small flash disk and just have the stuff on it I know I will be working with at that customer

I used to sit sort of in the IT department where I used to work (quasi-freelance these days), and all the USB ports were disabled in all the machines, and none of the machines had CD drives.

Looks like companies need to start looking at better anti virus protection to start off with. I think I am going to give this a go http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/thumbscrew-software-usb-write-blocker or this one http://www.naevius.com/protect_usb.htm

It's old, really! 1991 I think. On the Atari ST. Best anti-virus of its kind at the time.

Well I just had to redo my flash disk again. So now I am going to try Panda USB Protection and see how it works http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/downloads/usbvaccine/
