cvlu.exe virus and how to remove it

recently my girl friend's usb flash disk infected with this virus and through the usb its infected her PC (her AVG antivirus free is out off date), dunno where the virus is come from, this virus infect her usb with two files, cvlu.exe and autoron.inf. fortunately this virus is not very destructive. if u're dealing with this virus right now, i hope this story about my experience could help u out.

Let's get started. i used two tools which is: regseeker(hoverdesk), awc (advence windows care) version 2. they are freeware tools, you can search google and download them, regseeker is about 500-600 kb in zip form, and awc v2 installer is about 4,5 mb. after u finishing download and installing them, what you have to do is disable the virus process, you can do this by accesing task manager alt+ctrl+del, in tab process search cvlu.exe then highlight, hit 'end process', go to my computer, DONT DOUBLE CLICK INFECTED REMOVABLE DISK DRIVe, because doing so will reactivate the virus process. right click your removable disk, explore it, now cvlu.exe and auto.inf file can be deleted from your usb, delete them. now clean your windows registry with tools that i told before. Caution: DEAL WITH WINDOWS REGISTRY CAREFULLY(do at your own risk), create restore point and back up registry before using these tools. also check your start up program, disable suspicious start program with awc( awc could recognise several general program). after cleaning the registry and start up item is finish, proceed with restarting windows.
Congratz, Your windows is now free from cvlu.exe virus. :)
