Words of The RainMaker…

I remember when I got my first thumb drive back in high school. I stored all the important files (documents and images…) and music files (since the thing was an mp3 player). Even though it had the storage size of 1 GB, it was large compared to nowadays….

But there was one time when I checked my drive (plug and play, of course.), it seemed to have lost a portion drive space even though there was nothing stored inside. This puzzled me at first, then I realized that my thumb drive had been overrun by worms and trojans (F.Y.I., computer viruses). I thought of ways to get rid of these unwanted files like using anti-viral programs, reformatting and defragmenting. But the more frequently I used my thumb drive, the more exposed it is to a huge number of viruses from different computers or even worse, the World Wide Web. Remember that the Internet is a mesh of data circulating in cyberspace travelling across the globe for everyone to see access, and in that mesh of data includes computer viruses. This is like AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) for computers, since the motto of any thumb drive is "plug and play."
