But would you do a wholesale eradication of and/all suspicious files you find on your brand new flash drive that were installed there by the device manufacturer? I would certainly hope so. The original point of this was that the individual found them on their flash drive, and it appeared they were set to auto-execute and install upon insertion of the device into a Windex machine. Bottom line is, if it's on your removable media and you have no idea what it is or how it got there, a modicum of concern is called for. ----- snip ---- _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
