Never heard of it, but it looks good, David. I can't imagine there'd be any issues.

Thanks Sebby appreciated, Im surprised all this 8GB for that price

Sebby · Jan 21, 2009, 19:49:18

Flash memory is cheap these days, and getting cheaper still.

I've got 2 drives with it on, David, never had any problem with it at all.

I thought U3 was a U2 tribute band!

No, that's U4. Easy mistake to make.

"Nuthin compares to U2"

Sebby · Jan 21, 2009, 21:48:17

You haven't heard U4.

Steve · Jan 21, 2009, 21:56:41

Which four ?

It was a hit song for some Irish girl

Simon · Jan 21, 2009, 22:08:18

The B side was RU12.

Do you use the signupshield Ray ?

Nothing wrong with u3 in it'self. But autorun being enabled is definately a bad thing, especially with the current big virus doing the rounds.... It's also worth encrypting the device especially if you are going to be using portable browsers etc...

You can get U3 versions of AV programmes that protect your drive, So, Avast do one amongst others.

Thanks, David, I'll give it a miss in that case.

It's a lot safer to turn off autorun than rely on AV which seems to be failing consistently at the moment across the board.

Just following that advice
