connect your USB stick to the pc and hold the shift key(to prevent auto running). hold the shift key a few minutes( depending upon your pc speed). click my computer and right click on the USB drive and click on explore(DONT DOUBLE CLICK ON THE DRIVE).
go to "Tool >> Folder Option >> View" click on "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck the "Hide Protected operating system files "
click apply and ok.
If autorun virus exists, drive will contain a "autorun.inf" file. right click and open it in "Notepad".(DONT DOUBLE CLICK ON AUTORUN.INF).
in that file u can find a entry like,
"[autorun]
open = CDstart.exe" and some extra fields
Locate the executable (exe) file and delete it, and delete the "autorun.inf" file also.
Your USB Drive is Now Virus Free ( Autorun Virus).
if you get any Error message from the Explore while deleting the file, then the virus is infected on your computer also.
if you can detect the virus file in your pc then kill the process and delete the file and repeat the above steps. Otherwise use any antivirus to remove it.
