There are lots of other options too....maybe the exam was stored in a

the background might be high tech but not that high tech...a vbscript
running on the machine could easily do it. It (the software to do that)
certainly would NOT be expensive...free would be closer.
And the med stuent could easily ask someone in compsci to write it for
him, perhaps for beer. Dou gain for the compsic there, he gets beer, and
likely uses the program for class! Course, of the med student knows no
compsci majors, he asks his little brother or a cousin to do it for him
<smile>. Point being the med student is likely not the computer savvy one
writing the nefarious tool, and might not even be the one that ends up
placing it into use, directly...

Subject: Hidden Copying Software
Hi list,
A friend of mine who is a medical professor asked me if
it is possible to copy his usb thumb drive from their
class room pc without knowing it? he told me maybe
there's a hidden software that copying it in the background?
His exam from his usb thumbdrive was exposed all over
to his student.I told him that you need a very high tech
software or expensive to do it? Is any such software capable
of this? this some kind of impossible task in my views.
Thanks.
