How to Scan a Micro SD card for viruses and memory size Hi! Little Old Lady, here- who did something not terribly bright. I ordered a 128GB micro SD card intending to put it into my little laptop and didn't catch that it isn't a name brand. (~i'm embarrassed~) It's the right colors for a name brand, but no brand on it. I've read in the past that the no-name ones can sometimes come with viruses embedded in them, plus I've also read that they come saying "128GB" on them but really only have 16 or 32 GB on them. I'm afraid to put the thing into either my big computer or my laptop- I can't afford to replace either one of them if they get a virus, and I'm not extremely techno-savvy so if I get one, i might not be able to get it OFF my computer. (But thanks to Reddit, I am getting better at techno-stuff) (Bless all you folks out there who are patient with me!) So how do I scan for those 2 things? Big computer has Win 10 and AVG Free Virus program on it, as does my little laptop.
