so we used my USB mass storage device to save some stuff cause my roommates computer because she's been having some problems (mainly a worm) and we were worried we would lose her stuff (just word docs and pictures are saved on the device) I didnt think of this then but I was wondering if it is save to put that device in my computer, or do i have a chance of getting the worm too? thanks for all your help
