How to remove VBS Malware gen from your PC

One of my colleague often comes to my chamber with 3 to 4 thumb drives and requests to scan these drives for viruses. I did scan all his drives and deleted the virus using free antivirus software Avast 4.8. Two drives did not show viruses in the removable disk but when I inserted the 3^rd pen drive it showed the message that the drive has stains of VBS Malware gen. Avast flashed this message and asked for action. There were several options to act like 1. Delete the file, 2. Move to chest, 3. Rename the file, 4. No action.

I tried all the options but of no avail. I stopped the memory drive for safe removal and inserted my own thumb drive. To my utmost surprise, my own pen drive also got infected with VBS Malware. After doing boot scan with antivirus I deleted the viruses from my hard disk and got relieved that now my system was free of viruses. But this was not to happen as after insertion of pen drive in the USB port Avast flash the message again that the pen drive was infected with VBS Malware. I scanned my Antivirus program and found that even my Antivirus program was infected.

Earlier I have been puzzled by some other viruses and removed these viruses using Online Antivirus scanners. This time I also did the same but could not succeed in my attempts of getting rid of VBS Malware gen. Online scanner showed the infection and removed successfully all the viruses. I was relieved that now onward I will get freedom from VBS Malware. But my confidence shattered when Avast again flashed the message showing that VBS was very much there. You won’t believe, it all went on for a fortnight.

The last hope: World Wide Web (www):

Left with no other alternative, I thought to take refuge with www. I double clicked the Internet Explorer and to my surprise it opened a site by default and that was www.shyam.co.np. This site claimed that this was not an act of virus, but had links to some very useful sites. I got suspicious, changed my home page, and restarted the Internet Explorer. Again Internet Explorer opened the same site. Now I was convinced that this site is anyhow connected with VBS problem. I immediately informed the Microsoft site about this site using the fishing filter. I am awaiting response from Microsoft.

As a last resort, I opened the google and put the keyword VBS Malware in the search box. When the search page opened I got a sigh of relief that I was not the only sufferer but the search page was full of queries and requests. I took a snapshot of the search page and placed it below. Want to know-How did I get rid of the VBS Malware.
