I just realized I read your post wrong. I bet the library's computer was infected, tried to spread through your thumb drive, and subsequent computers picked up the infected bits. Won't hurt to do a scan, for sure.

Yeah, that is what I was getting at. :) Twice I've had my antivirus software be all OH HELL NO at thumb drives that have been in that library computer, I was just getting paranoid about things in case it had missed something.

There's no autorun.inf in my c:\, and I just did what you said with the folder thing.

I suspect it's fine - the first time I put a library-computer-infected thumb drive in my computer was last week, and I only had any problems at all today, and that could well be because sometimes my computer confuses itself a bit (especially when hibernating) if it's running on low-power mode.
