Okey, I read that "Flame" uses the autorun.inf of USB sticks to infect new computers,so I researched a bit about autorun.inf,but I read a wikipedia,that win7 does not allow the 'open' key in autorun.inf anymore,but "Flame" also is able to infect Win7 that way.

So,how does it do that? Has anyone a idea?
Because I want to config my USB stick a bit,and it should also work for Win7,so...

well, maybe its kid of like cds. when you put a cd in windows it gives you the option to run the movie\whatever, but on some systems, like win7 ult , it just runs, so maybe you should look into that

Have you ever used one of those secure flash drives which need a password before they mount the main volume? Usually they do it by partitioning one part and making it look like a compact disc. Then they can use autorun to open a verification application through that. Since windows only disallows from flash drives, theres nothing stopping it.


But flame also had Microsoft security certificates so I'm sure that helped it along.
