Now a days USB drives(Pen drives are very common) .The annoying fact is many a
time it can act as an agent for transmitting malicious programs like viruses, worms,key loggers and trojan horses.
Mode of infection: Computers affected with viruses will place a copy of the virus in your pen drive. Along with it it will keep a file called Autorun.inf. When we plug in this USB device in to a clean computer ,it will read the autorun.inf and that contains information on which program to start(ie the viral program) atomatically.
If you double click the usb drives icon in MyComputer ,then also it will execute the virus code.Once a viral code is executed then you are gone .It can make systemwide
changes to make itself hidden and non removable and will try to spread from your system.
Usually(not allways --i wil explain soon) right clicking on the pen drive icon and choosing explore is a safer option.
As a picture speeks thousands of words and is a universal language.. rest are in pictures.
