I thought it was standard policy in any corporate IT security department these days to warn people not to plug in any personal device whatsoever with a usb plug, even, say, a fan or coffee warmer. Is it really possible for a usb device to be too small to contain a virus?

I'm self-employed and this is a personal server. I'm looking more for advice on how to check for infection.

  There is no way in principle. You could have code that sleeps for 1,000 years. I think there was a HN thread about that.
