    Are these usb drives protected on a usb port behind a firewall ?
    I had a weird thing happen online today surfing, a popup said my mass storage device was not on a usb 2.0 hub, and to click for info. I shut it down on the spot, all my ports are 2.0 , I run Zone at stealth settings plus my wireless hub firewall. most of time i dont keep that flash drive in, today i forgot about it.
    any ideas?

    Thanks,

    It's probably just an add, trying to sell you something. I'd simply recommend checking to be sure your removed the Jump Drive before connecting. If you're truly worried, run your virus scanner on it to be sure.

    Thanks, Triaxx2 you are probably right, it just seemed strange. I run spy doctor and avg virus prog, and i am clean. there is not much on there , just transfer files, like i said i just forgot i left it in:)
