How can I get valuable documents off a virus-infected flash drive?
,----[ Quote ]
| What a problem! It's scary just to plug in such a dangerous drive.
|
| Since most malware is operating system specific, use a non-Windows computer,
| such as a Mac or a Linux machine.
|
| Put Linux on Your Machine
|
| Various versions of Linux, referred to as Linux Live, can boot from a CD or
| flash drive. Use Puppy Linux. It's free (not unusual for Linux), small, and
| very easy to set up on a CD. Putting it onto a flash drive isn't hard,
| either. Â
