Thats usually a pen drive virus (or any dervice that can autorun). As soon as you put an infected pen drive into your computer it copies alot of sensitive information (like passwords, settings or configs etc) onto the removeable secretly.

Disabling 'Autorun' fixes this.

Those instructions are for one particular AutoRun virus (and it isn't nowhere mentionned which one; so are you sure those are the instructions for the virus M73A has??

Each AutoRun virus works in a slithly different way and thus will have slightly different things you need to do to remove it. Also, each of those virusses have probably many variants which probably use different files...

And after a quick search on the net it confirms my remark that the above instructions are not for the particular virus M73A has.

eg: one variant: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_142684.htm

There are at least 16 variants of this virus, M73A has the JM variant according to his previous post.
