Re: [Avid-L2] Worms on Thumb drives

We saw a major infestation of the Autostart/doubleclick worm recently,
on machines that are shielded from the internet and problem free for years..

With USB - there is no safe place to hide. Dipshit editor downloads a
graphic from the web onto his flash drive and before you know it,
nasties are on every machine in the workgroup.

This one had made hundreds of copies before being found out. There was
no backup disk image so it required rebuilding the OS and drivers from
scratch. A worthless and thankless job.

Norton is no longer off by default. Retraining the editors takes more time.
