Hi all was wondering if someone could answer e a question. Last week i got one of those msn viruses in the links ok. I have now got rid and cleaned my system out fine. question i want answered though is i hjave an external hard drive i plug in which was also plugged in at the time. now i took it out when i knew what was happening which was not long after the virus began to infect my system. so if i now plug it back in to clean system, could it be on there and go forward to indect my pc again if i do plug it in?

any help would be greatly appreciated guys thank you:)

    Well most importantly of all please disable the Autorun feature first, this is now one of the top infection sources. The easiest method of doing this is probably running the Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine:

    Once you have done this, plug your hard drive in. But before opening any of the files inside, scan the entire contents of your drive with your resident anti-virus and anti-spyware program(s).

    I hope I answered your question.
