Worm infects MP3 players as well
The Downadup worm also known as Conficker infects any Windows mapped drive. This not only includes network drives but also any removable media that Windows creates a drive letter for such as some MP3 players & mobile phones. If your PC is infected it starts a service that cloaks the file from being recognised as an infected file by anti spyware programs. Scanning it records it as a clean file until you stop the cloaking service. It's a nasty pervasive little thing!!!
