Autorun has been disabled for a few editions of Windows now. Other operating systems:
varsil
However, an infected USB drive can tell the computer it's a keyboard, and then take over that way. Or pretend to be a modem. Or other evils.
DysgraphicProgrammer
Not just infected. You need to have specially constructed a device with custom firmware, not just loaded a drive with bogus data.
varsil
Yeah, fair enough. Still, getting a specially-made USB drive handed to you at a party could fit the bill there.

Configurable write blockers will allow you to view the files without allowing them to do anything to your system. We use them in my office.
Corona688
I can believe a write blocker blocks writes. Magical prevention of things in the OS itself? That's the driver, not the widget.

UseTheSource
There are plenty of ways, it's just more obscure (see: Shellshock exploit). And a worm can be on firmware level (see: BadUSB exploit)
Corona688
I cannot tell you the difference between 'exploit' and 'virus' in 140 characters but it's a damn big one.
UseTheSource
An exploit can be used by a virus, right?
Corona688
Maybe, to get in. "In" would usually mean "in a webserver account"; they wouldn't root the system, just crack some blog. (1/2)
Corona688
But in this case, we found out about this one before attackers did, so the door is locked.

Agreed, although I would't expect problems on a Mac or even a PC where someone has remembered to disable auto-play.

Don't worry man it was a work PC... Not dumb enough to put it into his own.

MFW I read this.

Because the cost of replacing your computer is higher than the cost of penicillin, duh…
Summersky
I...don't even know how to process this true but sad news.
TresusIbor
Sad my ass. Computers cost more than something that can save your life. Better than the other way around!

Yes, Canada, we're all impressed. Get a new trick now.

It's really rare that a virus could cause you to replace your computer. Worst case scenario is you need to give it a new HDD.
causamortis1
And that would be a nasty type of malware. Most of the time a fresh install will get rid of it all.
catbearman
Unless it's a mac. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
UsePNGnotJPEG
Well You still need to replace the HDD but you have the advantage of having to pay someone to do it.

I'd be more worried about a key logger being on the USB stick than a virus and they found out all my passwords...
VeganFeministFlatEarther
a Keylogger IS a virus... >.>

A virus will never irreparably destroy your computer. Even if they altered the USB to short your computer should be protected from a USB 1/2
IndAldre
short. If it isn't, it's about time to replace your computer anyway.
Leadfoot
Might melt down my reactors. A virus has never done that before.

Not unless you're in a TV show or movie anyway. But if you are, God help you

Depending on the design of the board, theoretically they could brick the board by flashing the BIOS.

When I was a network admin but not allowed to have proper firewalls, I almost did this to a hacker that got in. Decided to be nice.
bearhill2
Isn't it bad enough to have a trojan or keylogger or something?
IndAldre
Yes, you would then need to remove it, or in worst case scenario(it corrupts your OS) you reinstall the OS.

Oddly enough, Penicillin is going up in price since so few companies make it commercially.
sugarfreemt
Unless you get Hep C...THEN it gets expensive.
Trashboat32
Penicillin doesn't help with Herpes. Like, at all.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except Herpes. That shit stays with you forever...
aquatanica
Welllp, glad to say I can't really speak from experience lol
mmurrbles
That's just like your opinion, man.
afellowaustinite
My thoughts exactly.

"Alcohol kills germs, but herpes is forever." Don't share bottles with the 40 other people at the party who drank from it.
gmdave
The majority of people have oral herpes anyways.

At a wedding and record it with your GoPro.
