[QUOTE="OneWonders, post: 1799838, member: 211746"] Hey, Thanks fellows for the information. Yes I always do format new drives with Disk Utility Just wondered if that was sufficient to remove a hidden spyware program of the stuxnet or rootkit type. No, I'm not paranoid about it because I probably wouldn't be a target in the first place. And could never stop it if I was. Just thought infected flash drive or any other kind of drive would be a slick way to get sneaky stuff into otherwise secure operations. After look where they all are made. Just wondered what you guys would have to say about. You know, idle curiosity. Yes i see my profile needs an update. Only two are using High Sierra now, Sierra or El Cap on the others. Even a Mini 1.1 running 10.6 Hey those programs on it still work as good as ever when I need them. I just don't use it on the internet. I have always respected your knowledge. I thank you again for sharing as freely as you do. Paul [/QUOTE]
