What is AutoRun Worm?

(Description):

90% of the computers connected to the Web are infected.

AutoRun is a Worm application distinguished by its mode of proliferation. Once contracted, the worm copies executable commands in the Windows and System folders. It also copies an autorun command into every resident drive, all the way to J. The file, autorun.inf, will launch the worm every time that drive or partition is opened. Additionally, AutoRun tries to protect itself by disabling the Task Manager.
The worm's secondary objective is to simply search all of the resident drives for any file ending in the extension, .mp3. Once it finds them, the application summarily deletes them. Expectedly, AutoRun is set to run on Startup.

What is a Worm?
Worms are classified by their propensity to duplicate themselves. Trojans and Viruses don't do this, but a worm is adept at making so many versions of itself that it's hard to remove. Due to their prolific nature, worms can propagate themselves over the Internet and over a LAN without a specific command from the malicious programmer. Moreover, worms do not have to infect a file as a Virus does, so, like a Trojan, a worm can be downloaded with a legitimate program that can still function properly and independently. Email attachments, instant message attachments, FTP file shares and p2p file shares are all easy carriers for worms, which is why a user must exercise caution when dealing with any of these.

Like their non-propagating cousins, Trojans, worms usually have a variety of tasks that include opening up vital data to theft, launching popups and other advertising (adware), hijacking browsers, and spying on user activities (spyware).
