My newish one doesn't so they must have removed it.

Axiz ones do..

Cool. I will check it out...

You can buy a U3 compatible one. Then you can load something like Avast on the drive itself and it will scan anything that is written to the flash drive.

You can also scan the host machine and have double protection.

Why not just check the FlashDrive before buying?

I'm not going to drive to 30km midrand and go check every different model of flashdrive from the 6 suppliers there...

DiabloJ, what model do you have?

 

[Defib]

Its dark blue and i forgot it at work - soz


I have a few OEM models with writelock in stock

Got an ancient 128Mb flashdrive

Got a write lock, and boy, it helped me out with a pesky trojan yesterday and today

Pity you can't use software to lock it before using it on the infected PC.

I have an old sahara flash drive that has write lock, unfortunately the casing came off, so I'm left with a "green circuit board" flsh drive, but it still works.
