Has anyone else encountered this form of malware? I am running WinXP Pro with SP3. I suddenly saw a message saying ‘new hardware found’…then the system installed a new Hard Disk and then i got a message saying my new hardware device was ready for use. I went to ‘My Computer’ and saw no new hard disk. However, a disk does show up in Device Manager with some gobbledygook name. I uninstalled the device and deleted it but am concerned that it is some new form of malware that might cause further harm to my system. I cannot find anything on the web about such a thing. Any help is appreciated. A scan of my computer does not find anything suspicious.
