First disable AutoPlay/AutoRun on the PC in question.

Scan the system and *all* Read/Write removable media with an anti virus such as the Sophos
and McAfee modules of my Multi AV Scanning Tool.

You can't just try to remove it from a memory card/flash drive as the PC will re-infect
the device and vice versa.

At the prices of USB sticks today, the fastest fix would be to spank
that stick with a large hammer and replace it.

I just bought a MicroSD 4 gig teeny chip for my phone and a tiny USB
adapter for it for less than $20 USD (special need here), and a Lexar
"jacknife" USB stick for $8 usd.

Yeah well, not a viable solution for me. Just bought the damn sucker. 32GB
stick and it cost around $100, so i'm not likely going to spank it any time
soon...

But i tried the solution sugested above and i wonder why my F-Secure, bought
and payed for, did not clean the darn thing.. MCAfee identified it promptly
and removed it.. It hat not yet returned, som i consider it gone now..

Thanks goes out to david...

Smashing would NOT have bee a solution as it probably infected the PC and you may have
other devices infected as well.

Did you scan the PC and all removable Read/Write media ?

What did McAfee find ?
You can extract that information from...
C:\AV-CLS\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML

Yeah i did.. it only found something on the USB-Stick, besides som minor
things with Serv-U...

It was a worm. I deleted that folder, when i was finished using it, not
thinking about that report.. I'm not that fond of Dos, so... Sorry, can't
tell you what it was, but it's gone...

That would get rid of that particular symptom alright. What next, a
sledgehammer for the PC.

That's OK, but for the PC, any/some/all of the following

Chances are (if malware) you would see only a slightly ofuscated
reference to an executable file's filename. You would need the actual
executable's code to determine the actual malware name.

I have developed a removal tool for the virus (¾ôóü¨÷Ïo-ýîý ) original
name raidhost.exe . use following link to see virus report and
download removal tool !.

http://it.web44.net/VirusDetails/raidhost.exe_Recover_Report.html

More info:
raidhost.exe (CRC32 : D8AB4DA6) is a backdoor virus. It supports to
create a bot net. raidhost.exe is the parent virus. when it is
executed it downloads other viruses from its master servers. In Imago
labs we detected the servers are 64.131.83.170 on port 80 and
216.17.104.155 on port 51987. It downloads a malcious file dl.exe from
above servers and executes it. Then dl.exe download another malcious
file update.exe .

"Raidhost" use autorun.inf to propagate himself. It creates a system
folder called cold. Inside cold directory it creates a system folder
hott which appears as a recycle bin.then it copies its clone (¥¶¾³¿¸¤
£ù²¯².exe and ¥¶¾³¿¸¤£ù²¯² ) into hott directory.

raidhost.exe resides in %system drive% \ Windows. dl.exe and
update.exe resides on the root of the system drive.

As already noted, the OP used the McAfee module of my Multi-AV Scanning Tool.

The advantage it is a broad-spectrum removal tol, capable of the autoRun Worm and
"others".
