Start -> Run (Or type in search box if you have Vista/Windows 7) 3. type X:\autorun.inf where X is the drive letter of your USB drive 4. note the .exe files and use command prompt to delete them. 5. delete autorun.inf using the command prompt at the end !! 6. Scan your USB now, remove, plug it back in, scan again and you will be good to go !! @ An4 :

BUT when i open My Computer and putting in an unknown USB .. I usually enter the Flash Drive letter in the address bar.. who knows double clicking it runs that worm .. ? ... to keep an eye on this you can use Spy-Bot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) which shows each registry change ... care is all we can do .. Thanks glad it worked..
