Kindle - viruss-free flashdrive.

[Wild Rat]

In the file ./lib/udev/bin/notifyusb :

#!/bin/sh 
if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ] ; then 
   /usr/bin/lipc-send-event -r 3 com.lab126.hal usbPlugIn 
else 
   if [ "$ACTION" = "remove" ] ; then 
      /usr/bin/lipc-send-event -r 3 com.lab126.hal usbPlugOut 
      rm -rf ./mnt/us/autorun.* 
      rm -rf ./mnt/us/RECYCLER 
   else 
      if [ "$ACTION" = "online" ] ; then 
         /usr/bin/lipc-send-event -r 3 com.lab126.hal usbConfigured 
      else 
         if [ "$ACTION" = "offline" ] ; then 
            /usr/bin/lipc-send-event -r 3 com.lab126.hal usbUnconfigured 
         fi 
      fi 
   fi 
fi 

exit 0

i added this lines:

rm -rf ./mnt/us/autorun.* 
rm -rf ./mnt/us/RECYCLER

and now that the Kindle is removed, it automatically removes all the boot viruses from flash drive (Well, not all but the most extended ones)

You may have to remove the dot, but I don't know the dir that the command is called from.

rm -rf /mnt/us/autorun.* 
rm -rf /mnt/us/RECYCLER

Also, isn't the bigger problem that you have a virus? I don't think this would do anything very productive, because windows XP and higher versions ask you before running autorun.

Windows. By default.

Not since the days of XP. Vista and Win7 certainly don't automatically auto-run. They pop-up a list of options and ask you what you'd like to do.

The overwhelming majority of desktop users.

Disabling autorun is generally a good idea but it's not necessarily going to make much of a difference since there are so many Windows Explorer shell code exploits that will still work even with autorun turned off (Stuxnet is one notable worm that works this way but I'm sure there are countless others). Turning autorun off (or using Ariad) is a good first step though.
