BEWARE OF MALICIOUS USB DRIVES (Part 2) - HOW TO DISABLE USB PORTS.
That's right! Sheer caution must be taken if you value your PC. But what happens if after you have exerted caution, yet still find your PC hacked one way or the other, probably through a close friend, family or colleague whom you trust and know well enough, but unknown to him/her, his/her USB flash drive is contaminated and contains malware or probably you were out in the garden working, or you went to the bathroom to ease out or you were so preoccupied with some calculations and innocently that close trusted friend/family/colleague of yours, inserts a contaminated USB drive into your PC?
Serious situation right?
