More Information

W32/AutoRun-HU is a worm for the Windows platform.

When first run W32/AutoRun-HU copies itself to the Windows folder and creates the file <Windows>\pc-off.bat.

W32/AutoRun-HU will attempt to copy itself to removeable devices as password.exe. It will also attempt to create an autorun.inf file to ensure the worm is run when the removeable device is next used.
