Re: how to remove "alecks" an AUTORUN.H WORM

If the machine has no internet access, then an infection is possibly being introduced to the machine via removable media such as USB drive. This means the USB drive, and the machine which that USB drive originally came from are both infected.

Does this sound like a plausible scenario for your friend's machine?
