Now for the best part, clean up time.
1. Open OTMOVEIT2 then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTMoveIt wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will delete all the tools you have downloaded plus itself.
2. Create a new restore point

On this tab you will find a section for System Restore. If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows will delete all restore points except for the most recent one.

To help prevent future autorun infections.
Download this program, Flash Drive Disinfector by sUBs from
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exePlug in your usb hd
Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
Reboot your computer when done.
This utility will do a couple of things. First it will remove any autorun.inf it finds. There shouldn't be one on a fixed HD anyway. There is no need for such a file on any removable storage device -- iPod, USB flash drive, cell phone, .etc as you can open these drives manually.
It will create a SYSTEM protected, read-only, and perfectly harmless Autorun.inf file on any hard drive or removable storage device it finds when run. This file will not only help prevent future autorun infections, it will disable any current Autorun infection its ability to restart.
You can do this with all of your usb devices.
Take care and keep safe.
