  1. Safely scanning potentially infected drive


    Hello, I have recently got a terrible malware on my pc that forced me to ditch my hard drive, while I was taking out my hard drive out of my pc my pc is prebuilt which was the first time I had done that I found some random 1tb ssd. I wish to use this drive but I am worried that it might be infected, it would not show up on my pc but it was plugged in. I’m not sure if it is broken but if it isn’t and it works. How do it safefully boot it on my pc and scan it and have no problem or any threats because the virus I got was a mbr. Thanks.

    :)
