One of the biggest problems that we have seen occurring in the past couple of weeks (apart from missing elves) has been a possible infection of USB Flash drives by rather nasty worms. These can infect host computers, and cause the infection to spread - rather reminiscent of the early days when viruses were spread by floppy disks. I'm sure we will be looking at this problem again and again.
A possible example of this infection was a
laptop that we had in. According to the
client, PC World Tech Guys wanted to bin it (and probably sell the them a new computer), but Colin had other ideas. This is an ongoing problem, and at present important information has been saved from the hard disk by using Dai's wonder HDD connector prior to the reinstalling of Windows.
