This is a very well known virus that spreads through pen drive and infects every pc. I am telling you the manual way to remove it completely from your pc and pen drive. Click on start then click run after that type cmd. Enter into your pen drive by typing X: where X is the drive letter of your pendrive, now type autorun and hit enter then you will see a notepad with autorun script will show but you wont be able to delete or edit it. To delete the virus from pendrive and from all other drives of your pc enter into that drive letter and type attrib autorun.inf -s -r -h then press enter. After that you can delete the autorun file by typing del autorun.inf In this way you can delete it from all drives of your pc And your problem will be solved. If you are facing problems like your drive menu opens in unreadable text or with some unknown option then you will able to solve that type of problems with my solution.

Get any live linux Cd/Dvd boot into a linux enviroment. Plug in your thumb drive and delete the autorun.inf This is what I basically do evryday.. Good luck I suggest to get a knoopix live cd.. www.knoppix.net
