UPDATE: A reader (Thanks Michael) wrote in saying that he was using xp home edition and was unable to follow the directions in microsofts KB article about using gpedit.msc to create a group policy. He is correct. XP home can't run gpedit.msc. XP home users need to follow the "How to selectively disable specific autorun features" steps. I recommend you modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value to 0xFF. That should disable autorun on ALL drives.
I guess they're still waiting to get traffic and payload.
Now on to the important part of this post.
