The key words here are SAFE MODE!!!
Download, (if you can’t get on-line, have a friend download and copy to disc/flash for transfer) install, update and then, in SAFE MODE* run full scans, with these programs…

*** Important, when downloaded/installed/updated disconnect from the internet ***
Then re-start.
If you can’t run a scan, go into the scanner’s folder and re-name the .exe file to something like ‘MyFile.exe’ and try in safe mode again. Some malware prevent the execution of anti spy/mal/virus scans by blocking them by name.
You should consider getting a good Anti-Virus program.
Try one of these free ones…

***Never use more than one, active, anti-virus program at any one time***
*Note: On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5 or F8 (be aware that some manufacturers use F8 for system recovery!) then use arrow keys to highlight ‘Safe Mode with networking’ and hit Enter/Return, click on a user account, enter the Administrator password (if you don’t know it, there probably isn’t one so leave it blank) and hit Enter/Return.
** It has been noted that Malwarebytes should be run in ‘Normal Mode’ unless that isn’t possible!

As more and more computer users carry USB sticks with them to store and transfer their data, it was only a matter of time before virus writers targeted these devices as a delivery mechanism. This is done through the use of an autorun.ini file. This type of file is basically just a text file with instructions to execute other files. The other files are the actual virus payload. They may have names like Ravmon.exe, New Folder.exe, svchost.exe, and possibly another files with a .dll extension.
Manual USB virus removal can be very tricky and it is suggested that you use a good antivirus/spyware removal tool (found here) to prevent and remove risks automatically. The first thing to do is make sure you have a good backup (found here )of your files on the USB stick. Offsite backups allow for greater peace-of-mind. Next, you’ll want to make sure your computer is not set to automatically run CDs and removable devices. Microsoft has a one-click solution located at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715 to disable autorun.
It’s best to attempt removal of infected files through the operating system’s command prompt. Simply click Start > Run (or Search programs and files) and type cmd > Enter. Enter the drive letter your USB stick is using. If you need to check, go to My Computer (or Computer) and see what drive letter has been assigned to the USB device. Next, in the command prompt type that drive’s letter, e.g., if it’s E, type e: to switch to the E-drive).
Then, make sure all files, including hidden and system files, are showing. So, type attrib -rsh. This will ensure the files are not read-only and that system and hidden files are showing. Delete the autorun.ini file and any .exe and/or .dll files that look like they don’t belong. The key thing is to make sure the autorun.ini file is gone. This will keep the virus from replicating again.
It’s virtually impossible to keep your USB memory device free of viruses when it gets used in other computers; however, as long as you have autorun disabled on all of your computers and use up-to-date virus protection software, you will lessen the chances of becoming infected.
