Worm_shokell.a

This worm arrives via removable drives.

Upon execution, it drops several files. It then creates a registry entry to enable its automatic execution at every system startup.

This worm drops copies of itself in all physical and removable drives. It also drops an AUTORUN.INF file to automatically execute its dropped copies when the said drives are accessed.
