Need flash drives scanned on the fly?
Flash drives are the new (and more buffed up) versions of the floppy disks of old. Unfortunately, portable drives are also one of the major contributors to the transfer or viruses, malware, worms, trojans, and all sorts of unpleasant elements from system to system.
Especially when you’re away from your system (which, we’re assuming has adequate virus protection) the next best thing is to utilize online scanners to scan your flash and portable drives.
The good thing about online scanning platforms is that all you need is an internet connection. Virus definitions are also automatically updated by the sites administrators, so you need not worry whether the virus definitions are up to date. The downside is that for slow internet connections, scanning will also take longer, so if you have an 8gb flash drive, for example, it’ll take some time to clean on a slow internet connection.
