usb stick virus
I just finished ordering a fresh cd of windows 7 home premium + download. I plan to burn it on a usb drive and do a clean install. The reason is because I suspect my system was infected by a virus(I was redireceted to a filestube page with rar password download)even though I have comodo firewall + defense installed and do regular virus checks with trend micro free scan and microsoft security essentials tool, and none of these show any virus found.
So if I burn the iso file on the usb stick then install it, would this be secure enough since I heard some rootkits install themselves on usb sticks and that is how they infect and spread themselves onto other pcs. I have scanned the usb flash drive with microsoft security essentials and nothing was found. Can anyone confirm if this is enough or should I wait for the CD to arrive and then do a clean install?
