    Go to Win>run and type msconfig and go to the Startup tab. Disable everything

    And then, Find the autorun.inf file of every drive you have and delete them. (You will need to right click the drive and click explore to do this, otherwise no use, the vira will spread again.) dont worry, this also opens in a new window.

    Before you delete the autorun file, if possible, track the file that it uses to spread(usually system32/*.exe)
    Delete that( Dan karanna bari nam passe puluwan. Coz it might be runnin)

    Use the command:
    attrib -s -h *.inf
    to unhide and restore system stat of the inf's in the drives to unhide them. (Now you can delete them in Windows, [not in dos])


    Find the same file in task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL or CTRL + SHIFT +ESC)

    Make sure you disabled the startup and deleted the autoruns. and now. Restart

    goto the drives again using explore. Check whether the autorun files are there. if they are, repeat the steps you did again with utmost care.

    You'll get there. Its an easy virus to clean I think.

    After you've cleaned it in the PC, Clean your damn pen drive too. It has the virus most probably!!!!

    You can use NOD 32 for this type of viruses. Not bad like AVG (Dont take that much resources)
    Its also more secure than AVG.
    I use it. No hassle. AVG is in my Univ's Machine. It Sux
