ESET has declared top two threats INF/Autorun.gen and LNK/Agent.AK affecting ESET users in India. ESET also advises users to keep the system patches up to date, to disable autorun and not to use unsecured shared folders.
INF/Autorun.gen – This file contains information on programs meant to run automatically when removable media (often USB flash drives and similar devices) are accessed by a Windows PC user. ESET security software heuristically identifies malware that installs or modifies autorun.inf files as INF/Autorun unless it is identified as a member of a specific malware family.
NK/Agent.AK is a link that concatenates commands to run the real or legitimate application/folder and, additionaly runs the threat in the background. It could become the new version of the autorun.inf threat.
