The Downadup worm also known as Conficker infects any Windows mapped drive. This not only includes network drives but also any removable media that Windows creates a drive letter for such as some MP3 players & mobile phones. If your PC is infected it starts a service that cloaks the file from being recognised as an infected file by anti spyware programs. Scanning it records it as a clean file until you stop the cloaking service. It's a nasty pervasive little thing!!!
