Many years ago, thumbdrives used to have what is called a write-protect switch. What this does is when you push it to the lock position, you can read the contents of the thumbdrive but you cannot write or store anything into the thumbdrive. This is useful if you are going to use the thumbdrive on a computer other than your own, and you are not sure whether the computer is infected by malicious programs such as viruses.
To solve this problem, another way you could protect your "thumbdrive" from the possibility of being infected by viruses is to use a SD card and a SD card reader such as this one. SD cards generally have got a write-protect switch on it. The SD card reader is slim enough to look almost like a thumbdrive, so it can be easily carried around and plugged into the USB port of a computer.
When you want to save your data into the SD card, you need to push the switch to the top position. This means that the SD card is not locked.
Once you have saved your data into the SD card, you can push the switch into the locked position. This means that the SD card cannot be written on, that is, you cannot save any data into the SD card.
Then, put the SD card (while the switch is in the locked position) into the SD card reader. Using this method, you could open your files in the SD card on other computers without having to worry about the possibility of being infected by viruses.
