While I was at the SuperComputing Conference I went ahead and plugged in a
flashdrive that belonged to a friend of mine. After Windows 7 loaded the
driver for the device, I was prompted by AVG Free's Resident Shield. It had
stopped the worm from running, which I am thankful for. I told my friend he
had a worm on his flash drive and didn't believe me. He took his drive back
and scanned it with ClamAV and sure enough, there was a worm on the drive.
It was at that point we have been trying to locate it on disk, and I was
unable to access the folder from the Command-line with the complete path.
