Hackers who created this malware must have been very nasty else why would someone spend nights in order to create a malware which goes on to delete the computers mp3 files. Yes that is true!

A recent article on computerworld suggests that the creators of this malware are more likely to be teenage mischief-makers than the organized criminal gangs we typically see authoring financially motivated malware these days.

Symantec Corp., which calls the worm W32.Deletemusic, said in an advisory that the worm copies itself to all drives on a PC. It also creates an autorun file to start itself whenever a user accesses a drive.

The worm affects PCs running Windows 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, Server 2003, XP and Vista, Symantec said. To block potential problems users could disable the autorun feature in Windows that automatically launches programs on CDs or USB drives.

Users could also exercise caution by holding down the SHIFT for a few seconds in order to deactivate the Autorun function when they plug in USB sticks or other removable media to their computers or when they insert a disk. Users should also make regular backups for their critical data by burning DVDs or using automated backup tools.
