I have 3 hard drives, 2 are internal, and 1is external hooked up via USB cable. I know i can unhook the USB cable etc. But if i was to catch a virus can it travel to my other hard drive?? Also if a friend caught a virus and i installed it as my 2nd hard drive just to clean it… is it possible that the virus could jump to my main hard drive ??
Thanks

yes, it’s possible, as the virus’ data is stored in other parts of your computer as well. the only sure fire way to get rid of a virus is to reformat EVERYTHING, and all hard drives that you may have had in your computer.
Yes.
It happens all the time with USB jump drives. Can happen with external hard drives too.
well it not for sure but most virus’s should not have that type of code but yes its possible….. it all depends on what you drive names are
