Worm_windrives.b

This worm may be downloaded from remote sites by other malware.

It drops copies of itself.

It creates a registry entry to enable its automatic execution at every system startup.

It propagates by dropping a copy of itself in the root folder of all removable drives on the affected system. It also drops an AUTORUN.INF file in the same folder to ensure automatic execution when the said drive is accessed.
