    Not sure or what the hell has happened here but I have got a worm and the NOD32's red box keeps popping up all the time (driving me mad).

    Here's what is says:

    Object: G:\autorun.inf

    Threat: Win32/AutoRun.Agent.ZN.Gen.Worm

    Information: Cleaned by deleting - quarantined

    Ok NOD32 has grabbed it but it does not delete it or get rid of of it completely.

    Help pls

    Ok now this is really strange, it happens only when I plug in my Creative Zen X-FI II MP3 player which is a flash based MP3 player and has also a 16GB MicroSD card installed in it. So therefore I get 2 extra drive show up on my PC being F and G in My Computer.

    Would definitely suggest updating to the latest version (4.2.71.2) and running a scan again on each drive individually. The KB Article for doing this is below:

    Sounds like the trojan could be resident on the SD card and is trying to install itself on your system when the mp3 player syncs?

    Disable real-time protection for a moment, view G:\autorun.inf, check for the exe file it triggers (or dll loaded via rundll32.exe), enable real-time protection and submit the exe/dll to ESET.

    Sorry I cannot seem to find the G:\autorun.inf file in the F or G drive.

    Like I said before these F or G drives are created when ever my MP3 player s plugged in, and this threat only pops up when ever I plug in my player.

    Hi Albinoni,

    Are you still experiencing any issues? If so, have you tried by running an in-depth scan of all your drives (fixed and removable)?

    -from the main program window, click Computer scan > Custom scan.
    -from the Scan profile drop-down menu, select In-depth scan.
    -from the Scan target section, make sure all your local and removable drives are selected (you'll need to plug all your drives in order for them to appear on that list).
    -click Scan at the bottom and wait until the scan is finished.

    Let us know about the results of that scan.

    Thank you.

    Looks like a dropper or downloader is creating copies of the worm everywhere

    Its common that two drives are created when plugging in any ipod or any player like that. So don't worry. One drive is for music players system memory and second is for external memory like memory card

    Thanks
