  Don't choose any of them , Just simply click Cancel.
  •  *Now go to Start--> Run and type cmd to open the Command Prompt window .                                  
  •  *Now go to My Computer and Check the Drive letter of your USB drive or Pen Drive. ( E.g. If it is written Kingston (I:) , then I: will be the drive letter .)                                                  
  •  *In the Command Window ( cmd ) , type the drive letter: and Hit Enter .                                                                                                                        
  • *Now type dir/w/o/a/p and Hit Enter  
  • *You will get a list of files . In the list , search if anyone of the following do exist  
  • 1.        Autorun.inf                                                                                                                    
  •  2.        New Folder.exe                                                                                                                
  •  3.        Bha.vbs                                                                                                                        
  •  4.        Iexplore.vbs                                                                                                                                
  •  5.        Info.exe                                                                                                                                              
  •  6.        New_Folder.exe                                                                                                                          
  •  7.        Ravmon.exe                                                                                                                                    
  •  8.        RVHost.exe or any other files with .exe Extension .  
  •  
  • If you find any one of the files above , Run the command attrib -h -r -s -a *.* and Hit Enter.
  • Now Delete each File using the following Command del filename ( E.g del autorun.inf ) .
  • That's it . Now just scan your USB drive with the anti virus you have to ensure that you made your Pen Drive free of Virus .

 
Hi Frnds...
This virus is very very common now...
To know whether ur system is infected just type C:\heap41a in the address bar...
if there is a folder named heap41a, then  ur system is infected...
(AVAST antivirus is the best solution for this worm...) symantec also works.

good one .

but i slightly add more line to prevent virus infection from pen drive .

after deleting the autorun.inf file from your pen drive .

just make a directory with the name " autorun.inf"

after doing this virus still be there in your pen drive but cannt infect any other machine or pen drive because we block the execution point of the virus.
