Muite. Always scan USB sticks before opening them. Something else, when using a flash disk, don't double click on it's icon, what I normally do is explore My Computer then click on the flash disk's icon on the left pane. That way, the autorun.inf file won't be called by the shell [explorer.exe]. There is also an option to disable autorun.inf by running this command in your command prompt: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf" /ve /d "@SYS:DoesNotExist" Me.

thanks Aki,
the virus got in through usb. users go to cybers and there home pc's and use the usb there and bring all these issues to work. We have actually put a strict no usb me stick policy and i think this will reduce the chances of infection. thanks for the advice

@Nicholas, I read your original thread that the server is in a secure intarnet. How did the virus get to it? Via USB or via local files/shares? You should consider a complete lockout and then enable only services that are needed. HTHs.
