Formating your pen drive would be a good option.

Yes ur pen drive infected, even if u format that files will be back after plug in..
because ur systems registry has that infection

To avoid it open autorun.inf thru notepad
delete all contents save & set attrib to read only hidden & system
Or wait & do antivirus updates that will fixed automatically

scan it with any anti-virus that can detect it. Then use ACDsee to find the virus and delete it. U can delete it until you disinfect it

At times even the best antivirus engines dont detect a definite virus..

And the files u named are 100% virus infection.

Simply format ur pen-drive. It would be the best solution.

If you are not willing to format you thumb-drive, just use the following program to remove the .inf and .cmd files:
