Thanks, Dinesh! (The creator referenced by Mysticgeek, Ramesh Srinivasan, is a Microsoft MVP and well known for his contributions.)
To add, I hope everyone has Autoplay turned off: - Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button > Control Panel or, in the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay
- To turn AutoPlay off, clear the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices"
- Click Save.

I know its about added security but I love to have autoplay turned on so that I can avail of some default options when the media is plugged in.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Samsung NP530U4B-S02IN

Its one thing for CD/DVDs you have created but for people who do pass around USB sticks, they should at least consider using the "ask me every time" setting. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 & Windows Vista Ultimate

You are very fortunate that those files were already in detection by your A/V. Sality is particularly nasty and you would have been better off formatting if it had been a new variant. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 & Windows Vista Ultimate
