Hello I've now built a pc together and switch from the laptop to him. Since the laptop has a decent number of viruses, I want to ask whether these can infect the mouse and co and can be transferred to my pc?
Yes, there's a technical possibility.
E.g. Through compromised firmware.
The chance is great and something can be done about it
and what compromised firmware
You can do this in a targeted manner, but I don't suspect that your mouse, keyboard or headset will be affected. First of all, they have no memory that can be infested. You can continue to use it.
Incidentally, this is different with USB storage media, the risk is extremely high.
What do you think, what is possible, if z. B. Does a USB stick not appear as a storage medium but as a keyboard?
The command prompt is opened in no time and a few commands for virus reloading are typed in.
In principle works with any USB hardware.
and what compromised firmware
Well a firmware that is compromised.
Wikipedia is available for you to look up. Use it.
Hello first of all thanks for your answer I have as a mouse ne razer deathadder v2 I think it has a memory that's bad. But since it is again from Razer, I think that they have certainly built in measures against it
