That said, you guys should not be plugging in usb sticks you find lying around into your everyday laptops or computers. A common way to spread viruses is to load it up onto a USB stick and then load some music or whatever onto it and hand them out or 'drop' them around parking lots. That guy who said he found a USB stick full of research probably installed a RAT (Remote Access Tool) onto his PC when he plugged it in. --- End quote --- Right, but he also said it was a computer he intentionally installs viruses on. |
| Anybody:
plug it in your computer and try boot of it |
