Thanx a bunch once again deltalima! really really appreciate all your help.....

Is it possible for you to suggest any antivirus or maleware protection I can install on my portable Hdd itself so if I need to plug it in to computers other then my own I can be relatively more secure?

Not really, for antivirus software to protect it needs to be running on the host computer. All I can recommend is that you check that antivirus software is installed and updated on any computer before you connect the external disk. If not then don't connect the disk.

Alright, everything done all clean.
