New Virus to watch out for – you dont want 'Resycled directory'

[Uggy]

I just posted via yahoo nc10 user group, but spread the word and not the virus is da motto…

Nasty little buggar appears to changes your drive association.

SYMPTOM

If you click on a drive, you get error messages

With Kaspersky, it stops boot.com but doesnt stop or remove the infection.

You can see if you are infected by showing all system files in windows
explorer and looking for autorun.inf in root directory. Also a
‘Resycled’ directory (that’s NOT misspelt)

you would have to delete these and maybe run drive association repair
