Virus &
Floppy Disk
The most danger to a public
access computer is from the floppy disk used by one patron and
forgotten in the floppy drive. That disk might contain a virus
that then infects the public access computer if it is rebooted
while the forgotten disk is in the drive.
Make sure to remove floppy
disk from A drive after use.
