Worm:VBS/Basack!inf
Worm:VBS/Basack!inf is a worm, which propagates as an 'autorun.inf' file created by another worm so it can circulate and take over other computer systems through removable drives, such as USB flash drives, also known as USB keys or thumb drives, and portable hard disk drives. Worm:VBS/Basack!inf aims at distributing itself via removable drives on PCs that sponsor Autorun functionality. When executed, Worm:VBS/Basack.A creates the malevolent files on corrupted removable drives. The 'autorun.inf' file involves instructions for the OS so that when the removable drive is accessed from another PC, which sponsors the Autorun feature, Worm:VBS/Basack!inf loads automatically. 'Autorun.inf' files on their own do not necessarily specify an infection, as they are used by genuine applications and installation media.
