AusDog Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 In the past couple of days I have gotten 5 Trojans from 5 different sources that F-Secure doesn't see until I open the file. Is there a way to temporarily cut off in and out flow to a Flash drive in order to create a safe "sandbox?" to execute files to keep contamination limited to the Flash which I could then format? And those Trojans could not be dealt with by my anti-virus or booting into safe mode (Wish we had pure Dos that could "see" the NT drives). Got rid of them by having a strong recent back-up by Nero 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 11, 2008 I am not clear on what you are asking here, but formatting the drive from a command Prompt will help make sure the drive is clean as long as the host system is not infected. Format (X:) /FS:FAT32 /U (X=the drive letter assigned to the Flash Voyager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusDog Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Is there any way to close off the Flash drive so that if you hatched a virus there it would not go anywhere outside the Flash Drive? This would give you what the computer folks call a sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
