This would have created an entry in your startup. Download some startup manager. TuneUp Utilities 2008 has a nice startup manager. Disable the startup key for virusremoval.vbs from the TuneUp's start up manager.

TO remove this first of all look into task manager and see it WSCRIPT process is running or not. If it running then end the process. Then go to windows/ system32 directory and delete the virusremoval.vbs . Then open msconfig and delete the startup key from there. Sometime there is a blank startup item with no name of process. Delete those entries and you are done...:D:D:D

Goto Registry Editor by typing regedit in Run command.

Browse to these registry keys:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
In the right pane, look for the values of Userinit[/b and Shell keys. It must have values C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe and Explorer.exe respectively. Anything more than that can be safely deleted.
Like suppose possibly if the value is 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, C:\Windows\System32\VirusRemoval.vbs' then double-click the key to edit and delete C:\Windows\System32\VirusRemoval.vbs

Also for Startup entries, you can check these keys:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

it is infact a very nagging .vbs script virus, better known as the sujin virus. stop doing all the registry hacking yourself just download an antisujin kit available from this link

Actually it is not exactly a virus. It is a very useful VBscript. You can eit it and use it to get rid of those pesky andu-pandu USB viruses

I too don't think that it actually is a virus after reading the code. It just changes the IE title name and the startup page. It doesn't do any destruction like the trojans do.

Edit the virusremoval.vbs file and change all instances of that URL with about:blank

Or change these two keys:
Code:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title

I faced the same 'bro.gov.in' problem- no well-known anti-virus programs could detect or block its infection. Finally Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program removed the virus -here is the report for experts to see:
Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr (Hijack.TaskManager) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
[FONT=&quot]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoFolderOptions (Hijack.FolderOptions) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully[/FONT].

But the trace remained in the internet explorer - I just tackled that, thanks to digit forum suggestion to use AntiSujin.
