FWIW... If you have a USB drive that runs a AUTORUN.inf related function, I would heavily advise never using it on anything but your own computer(s). If you do not use a locked down (non-functioning) type of AUTORUN.inf file on your flash drive, it is at serious risk of spreading malware sourced from other PCs. IMO (unfortunately!) the days of using flash drives between multiple computers without taking special care is gone.
Some of the worst places for incidents like this are schools. Most require the use of flash drives and I have seen infections spread from school to home as soon as the infected drive is plugged in. Literally in a matter of a couple seconds!
