It is another type of infection, created autorun files on all drives, and also it can create registry entries in order that it can execute.

The name is Recycler because it stays in the folder with the same name in the operating system. It is normal to have such folder on drive C:, although it is unusual that this folder is on USB drives or other removable media.
