I just destroyed a USB fob because I found IRCBUTE/Taquito on it.
I am trying to find out if it got there from a browser (likeliest
suspect) or from opening PDF files. Can it just get there by using the
file system? I believe I got it by downloading two zip files (my own
files) using a browser at a public library.

It probably happened as soon as you plugged it into the library
computer.

There was no need to destroy the fob.

So IRCBRUTE works through the file system?

*+-There was no need to destroy the fob.

I agree, but no one was willing to help me fix it.

It loaded via an AutoRun worm.
That's why you should disable AutoPlay/AutoRun on a PC where you use
random-read/random-write media.

In what way was it broken that it required fixing? Or is this just a
language thing?
