1st thing I'd look at is the running processes, sounds like you have the virus running in memory and it's replicating itself to any drive that pops up.
I've got one of them adapters, but I really can't be bothered opening my PC up to go through it all.
I'm gonna get the external CD later and just do a fresh install.

That's what I probably will have to do.

I've tried them all. they just won't open. one opened found a load of stuff but they were all there again when I rebooted and rescanned.
