    Just a dumb question:
    I have a Router, and all ports are closed for the outside world.
    Does the trojan still has a chance to install on my PC from the wan side?
    And, Vista does not start the autorun.inf automatically, it always popup a dialog where I can chose what to do, would that be safe?

    I always read here "When you are infected...", "How to remove...", but nothing about HOW it infect my PC, from where it comes etc.
