Security Software Issues

[rufus]

Is it necessary to install security software on the Mojopac USB flashdrive or does the security software on the Host protect the Mojo USB?
If its necessary to install and you do not install, can the Host computer become infected (e.g., spyware) from an infected Mojo USB?

We have taken great care to ensure that your MojoPac environment is as isolated as possible from the host computer you are using. However, you should always take care to ensure that your computer (this includes MojoPac!) is always clean and protected.

We cannot (nor can *ANY* software) claim that you are always 100% secure. However, there are things you can do to ensure that you are as safe as possible.

If you are unsure about a particular host's security...

1. If the host PC you are using has a virus scanner and anti-spyware software installed, make sure you run a scan before starting MojoPac, and make sure the software is up-to-date beforehand.

2. If the scan is clean, and the virus scanner/anti-spyware software is from a reputable vendor, you have a higher level of comfort than if the machine is completely foreign or the scan returns a failure.

For further protection, you can install one of the tested anti-virus and anti-spyware software from the below tested application list inside your MojoPac environment:

Clam AntiVirus 0.88.4
ewido anti-spyware 4.0
Anonymizer
Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.4
Ad-Aware Personal SE 1.06
eWallet

User mode malware is usually blocked or detected with the installation of proper anti-spyware software inside the MojoPac environment.
