Oracle System Assistant mounts a USB storage device that is accessible to the operating system

In addition to being a bootable environment, Oracle System Assistant is also mounted as a USB storage device (flash drive) that is accessible to the host operating system after installation. This is useful when accessing tools and drivers for maintenance and reconfiguration. The Oracle System Assistant USB storage device is both readable and writeable and could potentially be exploited by viruses.

It is recommended that the same methods for protecting disks be applied to the Oracle System Assistant storage device, including regular virus scans and integrity checking.
