Woospi is a dangerous computer worm infection that may spread through removable media such as USB drives. Woospi uses the autorun.inf file to spread through these devices onto the computer that the infected drive or media is plugged into. It does this through the Autorun function built into Windows where the drive is automatically opened allowing the Woospi infection to spread.
