I use a flash drive on some occasions to copy files when I am using the Internet while on the road. Is it possible to get a spyware program on my flash drive? [br]

Any time you download a file, whether it is on a PC, laptop, or flash drive, if it comes from the Internet, you may well get spyware installed on the flash drive as well. [br][br]You may not be able to tell at first if you have spyware on your flash drive. If you plug your flash drive into a USB port, you may not get the chance to find out about it, considering the spyware program may just as easily hop from your flash drive to the PC or laptop you are using. [br][br]Your best bet would be to run a anti-spyware scan for all local drives and removable drives as well. This way if there is a spyware program on your flash drive, the program will destroy it, so no more harm is done. [br][br]
