Resumen:Allowing a USB drive to automatically run programs can cause a problem, allowing users to collect passwords and other confidential data from machines or to load other malicious code without your knowledge. Post a "Flash Drives Welcome" sign temporarily, make a note in your newsletter, post on your library's blog, and be sure that all public services staff members can suggest the USB drive alternative to people who are having problems with floppies or seeking alternative storage solutions. Systems librarians can use USB drives to store diagnostic tools, drivers, and other useful files to help them repair or restore machines.
