I was suprised that there was no entry for this. (might be due to this worm is "low threat")I was lost untill I found the sophos entry. It worked. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> Since I don't have any AV (actually you don't need one if you can manage you system) I've disabled autorun for removable drives (is it disabled by default in XP service pack 2 <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" />). Also my usb flash drives have custom made autoruns with icons of my choice. So if a virus/worm overwrites my flash drive autorun.inf then  I'll not see my icon displayed when plugged to my comp, instead the default removable drive icon will be displayed. So I can guess something fishy has happened. That simple thing seems enough for me to keep usb propagating viruses away from my comp. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
