Ok,let's back to real topic of today.Many people feel very convenient to double click on anything to open up some files or data which stores inside the pendrive.However,they do not realize how dangerous they are if double clicking on its pendrive.If the pendrive is infected with trojan or virus,it will spread to your PC if you double click on it.So,NEVER double click on your pendrive to prevent further infections to your PC.
