8GB USB FlashDrive help.

Hi,

I have a 8GB verbatim flash drive and it has V-Safe100 so the whole 8gb is password-protected called privacy zone and i store all my important info really important info.


and my question is if is password protected does it mean is encrypted and viruses,malwares,spywares,trojans,rootkits,and keyloggers can access it or can they infect my flash drive too?


can i use rohos-mini-drive to encrypted or is V-Safe100 privacy zone safe enough?

According to the user manual I did not see anything stating that the password system would protect you from viruses/malware ect. I would suspect the primary purpose of the V-100 protection is to deter/stop human intrusion into your data should you happen to drop the drive on the street and it contains secret corporate documents.

Also I will state that many malicious programs are very malicious and therefore may be designed so they can get around these kinds of things. I would expect that your drive is generally safe from human intrusion excepting people with knowledge of IT stuff or mediocre Google skills on how to find a password breaker. I would not treat the drive as if it is virus proof by using it to repair infected computers.

ur right tnks. I read the whole adobe v-safe PDF manual so everything u said is correct.


I just wish they could make inaccessable usb drives.


PLS CLOSE THREAD TNKS.
