I knew it would be something new and different, even interesting.

I had run the firmware upgrade after fully charging my new Pocket Pro. When I connected it to my computer's USB port my virus protection software popped up the alert attached, which reads:

M:\autorun.inf

Contains recognition pattern of the WORM/Conficker.Autorun.Gen worm.

In this case, drive "M" is the Astak Pocket Pro.

Have any of you encountered this before? I'm not too worried as my virus protection seems capable to manage it. I've disconnected, the reconnected the PP several times to confirm the sequence. The warning is triggered immediately upon clicking the menu button on the reader to connect to the PC. I tried using the "delete" option with my virus protection, and this may have removed the problem as I seem able to connect without triggering the alert.

I don't know enough about autorun.inf viruses to confidently assess what's going on here. And a bit of searching via Google and on this forum hasn't turned up anything either. I know that virus detection via pattern matching can return "false positives." I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable in this area might be able to provide some insight into the matter.

Thanks!
