Let your USB drive plugged and run Autorun Eater or Flash Disinfector, allowing them to clean up all drives. They would create hidden folders named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. These folders protect your drives from future infection. After that, reboot your computer.

Oh, I forgot, better prevent than cure. Use USB Firewall, which is compatible with other full firewall running in your computer.

A new solution from Panda disables the autorun.inf functionality in USB sticks. It's a free utility. Explanation and download page here:
