Hi,
I travel frequently and I must often go to Internetcafes. I used to carry USB flash disks (Thumb drives) (Windows formatted). When I connect them to the cybercafe computer it happens regularly that they are infected by virus. The recycler virus is popular now in Asia.
What will happen when I connect my Galaxy Note II (Android)? Can the Windows USB viruses spread to Android when it is connected as mass storage? (I think they can.)
Is there anything I can do to avoid it? The extra storage sd card has maybe a write protect switch. But it is hard to open the phone and set the switch every time I go to the cygbercafe. It will not help for the internal memory either.
Thanks
