Re: USB encrypted

Encryption offers no protection against malware.

NTFS file permissions and group policy can prevent automated infections, on Windows hosts at least. POSIX permissions 
are far less useful, but the system itself can be hardened.

At some point, you just have to accept that users are idiots who will click anything if they believe they can see 
breasts by doing so.

AFAIK, using an encrypted volume only prevents if you don't have it mounted. As long as you have it mounted, it behaves 
like any ordinary device being prone do virus infection.

Again, As Far As I Know. :)
