Virus Alert: Autorun.IYQ modifies the Windows Registry
Another report from PandaLabs regards the Autorun.IYQ worm that makes a series of modifications to the Windows Registry with the following effects:
* It prevents a session being started up in safe mode.
* It blocks writing to removable devices, preventing files from being copied to the device.
* It prevents numerous files corresponding to security programs from being run.
* It disables several services in the Windows Security Center.
It adds two new entries at the start of the contextual menu for the drives in My computer, which point to a copy of the worm.
As always, make sure that you have an Anti-Virus program protecting your computer and especially make sure that it is up to date. Then get your computer scanned immediately!
