Yesterday I happened to visit my friends place and found out that he had downloaded a very new movie. I asked my friend to give me the movie. I took his memory key or the thumb drive and then copied the movie on to it and went back home.
When I reached home, I put it in my PC and went into My Computer. When I double clicked the memory key/thumb drive icon, nothing happened and it did not open. Just at that moment, I had a hunch that I had activated a virus or worm from the memory key. Obviously at that particular moment, I was un-ware of the the problem.

At that moment, I just went ahead and watched the movie. By the way, it was really a good movie, loved it.
