first download avast then flash_disinfector, install them both, you will detect thru avast what kind of worm, in my case win32:hakaglan was detected, then i open flash disinfector then after a while delete the new folder in my Usb data traveller. then the new folder was gone. try it!!!

The best way to remove this kind of virus is from Linux . U can manually delete all unnecessary files in the flash drive from Linux OS.

Thanks a lot Lindsay
I also had the 96 kb and the other tools didn't work.
Also the files they told me to look for weren't present.
I didn't have the registry key but I did have the bttnserv.exe in the system 32 and I also had the svchost.exe with the folder icon. In my case it was located in the windows folder (both were hidden).
Didn't need to restart in safe mode or anything, just used dummys created in notepad.
Thanks again

Dont click on New foler.exe first of all.........
go to standard buttons bar in ur window then go to folders-click on that next on left side window double click on the folder n delete the folder virus in right window.
k try it.
the best way to keep sys away frm folder.exe is when we attached any external devices to cpu dont click directly on it.
first click on folders-then double click on devices in left window later delete folder.exe if any in right window

I did have this problem (new folder. exe on my thumb drive) and
eventually, after several hours, managed to solve it. I therefore wanted
to share what I had found with others.
Below are the details and the solution I found:

The version of newfolder.exe worm that I had was not detected by AVG
Anti virus and only the infected files were detected by AVG anti spyware,
as Worm.VB.cb
I only found a report of this worm on the trend micro website and it seems
that there are several variants.

The new folde.exe or folder.exe that were found on my thumb/flash
drive were all 96kb

I also found:
1. in C:WindowsSystem 32 a file BttnServ.exe,
2. a registry key in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent versionRun
EASYBTTNSERVE.EXE
3. in C:Windows a notepad file winst.log

These files were identified by AVG Antispyware as being infected with
Worm.VB.cb

Every time I deleted the folder.exe on my flash drive, and the registry
key and BttnServ.exe from WindowsSystem 32, they returned.

When I tried to delete winst.log I received the message that it was being
used by a process or application.

Search on internet mentions a file svchost.exe, but a search for this file
on my computer only returned authentic programs.

I eventually got rid of this worm doing the following.

1. I deleted the registry key and deleted BttnServ.exe
2. I created a dummy BttnServ.exe using a blank notepad file and
renaming it. I also made this dummy read only.
3. I rebooted into safe mode, and noted that winst.log was not there. From
this I assumed that the program had not started.
4. I accessed C:Windowssystem 32. In the list of programs (not files) I
found a hidden folder ( I have set my computer to show hidden files) named
svchost.exe The icon was a folder icon (not the usual Windows program
icon) and I noticed that it was also 96kb. I deleted it.
5. I then deleted my dummy BttnServ.exe
6. I ran AVG Antispyware on my flash drive and deleted all infected files.
I rescanned to make sure that the files had not been recreated.
7. I then rebooted and reran AVG Antispyware which reported no problems.

I did not see the hidden file (with folder icon) svchost.exe until I
booted into safe mode. Whether it was booting into safe mode or the dummy
file, I'm not sure. Creating the dummy file may have been unnecessary, but
it has worked for other worms to stop them loading.

there are two ways of removing this sort of virus.
1st 1 is to simply format ur USB
This virus attacks your computer registry so you will have to remove it form your registry by writing "regedit" in run in start menu obviously it will not work because this virus will not allow you to open registry so you will have to do this by starting your computer in safe mode and then open registry than write newfolder.exe in search in registry then remove each file that it finds then restart your system by giving command "msconfig" in your run in start menu in this window last tab will be start up uncheck all the things in this tab by clicking on disable all then restart your system the virus will be deleted.
