We are an all mac facility but I know there have been some pcs installed on occasion for transcoding purposes. I'll pass on the info I've gotten. Is it possible a mac could infect the workspaces with an autorun.inf? I think of those as pc only but perhaps I'm just not versed enough on the virus side.

There is no file system that a virus would know about on the unity to be infected itself, it's just the virus storing things via any mounted drive letter to facilitate it's spread.

I'm familiar with autoruns that happen when you mount a drive but I've been on macs for a while now so I haven't dealt with them. Is this just a generic pc disk thing or something that unity is creating. I seem to recall autorun.inf files were not on Terrablock volumes but when they got on a few it was do to a virus not the system. Not having any problem but would like to understand better.
