<Desktop>\Internet Explorer.lnk
<User>\Start Menu\Internet Explorer.lnk
<Root>\autorun.inf

W32/Anis-B attempts to periodically copy itself to removeable drives, including floppy drives and USB keys. The worm will attempt to create a hidden file Autorun.inf on the removeable drive and copy itself to the same location. The file Autorun.inf is designed to start the worm once the removeable drive is connected to a uninfected computer.
