Also, you said, if you put yourself at risk, not
others. If a machine becomes infected, it may cause problems for others,
not just you. It may be part of a botnet and take part in denial of
service attacks, shutting down web sites. It may be used by malware to
mail spam, thus exposing people to phishing and other kinds of fraud. The
malware may try to spread itself to other machines on your network.

The whole point of having NVDA on a thumb drive is
to run it on other machines where it isn't installed. Why would you want
to run it on your own machine from a thumb drive in the first place? I
don't know anything about disabling this feature but it sounds to me as though
if you do, you open yourself up to malicious software if you use a thumb drive
from someone else. I see no reason to take risks just to make running
something easier.
And you can run it very easily on your own machine
without lowering security. Create a short cut to the exe file on the thumb
drive. Then assign a short cut command such as control alt d or control
alt a or whatever such combination you like. That is so fast and
convenient that there isn't any remotely justifiable reason to needlessly lower
security for convenience.

Yes. But there are ways, and there are ways. And as long as you run it
on your own computer and put yourself at risk and not others, then it will
still work just as long as you know what you're doing. Cheers! On 3/22/2019 11:32 AM, Gene wrote:
