When I inserted my USB storage device in my Qubes OS pc after login to Qubes OS, their appeared a small transparent window (before I mounted the USB device to a VM) where I only could see its frame.
I then wondered if it could be caused of a virus that was planted on the USB storage device that I only have used to transfer files between two Qubes OS pc's. And if so, how can I get rid of the virus or rootkit on the Qubes OS pc ? mandag den 21. december 2020 kl. 01.05.02 UTC+1 skrev Ulrich Windl: > On 12/20/20 10:27 AM, ME wrote: > > Lets say I have a USB storage device which has a virus on it that will > > infect a Linux pc when it is inserted. > > > > If I insert the USB storage device in my Qubes OS pc after login to > > Qubes OS, is it then possible for the virus to infect my pc immediately > > after I have plugged it in before or after attaching the device to a VM ? > > I think it depends on how the virus works.
