Due to the popularity of CD and DVD killed viruses that transfered through floppy which I like to call "Floppy Viruses".The read only method prevented "Floppy Viruses" from getting into the media.

But the recent dirt cheap USB Thumbdrive/Pendrive/Flashdrive(whatever you call it) had increase the usage of USB Flashdrive.Is this the rebirth of "Floppy Viruses"? from my recent experience.I see hundreds of student who most of the time had their Autorun enabled and did not put effort to scan USB Flashdrive.Why do we still need Autorun on a USB Flashdrive while we all knew that most of the "Floppy Viruses" take advantage of Autorun.

I seen alot of "RECYCLE" virus and a few more weird VBA viruses.All of them are hidden in Microsoft Windows and couldn't delete through Window's Explorer.
Some might suggest to format the flashdrive in Windows.But of couse,virus creater ain't stupid.The alternative solution other then antivirus(which might not all work) is to use Linux(if you have 1).You could delete those file in Linux using root.

So you might ask why I wrote is long and weird title.
Because I seen a guy's Flashdrive filled with 5 different viruses and a brand new computer which is less then 1 month old was infected with 2 viruses.
