Me too got affected by that earlier............use Avira/AVG to delete that......If not then try deleting in safe mode........

Better option is back it up and format

It's a trojan, disable 'Hide System files' and delete the autorun.inf and whatever exe file is there. Also, do the same for all the partitions o your hard disk.

Open your registry: Run ->regedit, then:

Open registry, goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Run. See if any values exist for the vbs file and remove them.

Repeat for RunOnce, RunOnceEx.

Next goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOftware, Microsoft, WindowsNT, CurrentVersion, WinLogon and remove any keys which have the vbs file as reference.

Do this in safe mode.
