tsultan, any update?
* \Autorun.inf --> used to autorun the worm when the drive is accessed, so must be removed.
* \sal.xls.exe
*Windows\ufdata2000.log
I would suggest running "Flash_Disinfector.exe" not sure if "sal.xls.exe" variant is covered yet but the tool creates a bogus "autorun.inf" which would help prevent the worm from loading and spreading.

According to the author, when flash_disinfector is run, it will create a bogus folder, autorun.inf in every partition. It wont stop the infected file from getting in, but it does prevent the loading point from getting created.
PrevX:(claims to remove it)
