clean possibly infected flash drives and CD-RWs
I have changed over from an old, very slow, possibly infected computer to a new computer which I want to keep completely free of malware. I have 8 flash drives and 30 CD-RWs which have been in the old computer and may be infected. If I disable autoplay on the new computer, insert one of these flash drive or CD-RWs, and immediately re-format it; can I be sure I have not transferred any malware to the new computer? Is it safe to go on to use these in the new computer?
Thanks
