I had this same problem. Here's the deal. The worm added some entries to the registry which then changed the context menus (which is what you get when you right click) for all mounted drives (including removable disks). It changes the default from
Open to
Auto. So here is what you need to do:
1. Open regedit.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2
***Back this up before making changes***
Option A
3. Search the various keys for a sub key with Shell (capitalize)
4. Then search the subkeys under ones containing Auto
5. If any of the Auto subkeys contain subkeys named command click on them and see if "adober.exe" or "ravmonlog" are referenced.
6. If so, delete the entire key.
Option B
3. Go to Edit-Find...
4. Search only in keys and for the string "Auto". Check "Match Whole String Only"
5. Follow steps 5 and 6 from above
7. Repeat 5 and 6 until you can open your drive normally.
hope that helps.
