Go to My Computer > Right Click > Manage > Disk Management.

Now just select D and format it from there.

I hope it'll be fine.

Try Explore, Looks like virus, not sure.

Right click on start menu and click explore and then on left panel select D.

See if this works.

Click to expand...



control panel >folder options >Show system files , hidden files

go to D:\

u will see a file called autorun.inf

Delete that file

Reboot pc


edit

next time dont forget to install Good AV +Firewall and update it weekly
