I have 2 pc, one old, one new(got it yesterday).
I want to transfer data to the new pc. The old pc had virus before(1 year ago) but i cleared it all with Avast and Malwarebyte. Before i transfer, i did a full scan on the old pc again and full scan the pendrive too, no threats were found. But im still a bit scare since its a free antivirus scan. So here are some questions.
1. Lets say if the pendrive actually still remain some virus. Will the virus straight enter my new pc right when i plug in the pendrive? Or it only enters when i transfer my data?
2. My new pc has Avast too, will Avast warn me and auto clear the virus when i plug the pendrive in?
