Spreads via€¦

Removable and network drives
Worm:Win32/Vobfus.AAJ can create the following files on targeted drives:

• :\favourites.lnk
• :\i love you.exe
• :\koeeku.exe
• :\movies.lnk

• :\passwords.lnk
• :\pictures.lnk

• :\search.lnk

This is a common way for malware to spread. However, autorun.inf files on their own are not necessarily a sign of infection; they are also used by legitimate programs.
