It definitely sounds as though its not just the USB drive that is infected, but the computer too. There will be no point removing the virus from the USB drive while the computer is still infected. I'd recommend removing the USB drive and cleaning the computer first with MalwareBytes, HiJackThis and your regular security program. Then worry about the USB drive.

If you're unable to clean them, maybe just try http://www.fixedlikemagic.com

That way you'll know the computer is definitely clean ;)

The autorun virus always come from pen drive. The easiest way to prevent this virus is to disable the autorun feature completely. Go to google and search "disable autorun completely" and there is a lot of solution there.
