I have got about 60GB an archive on the USB hard disk 3.5"

Recently my laptop (win2003 with all patches|) was infected by virus Worm.VB.dz, I guess I have done all processes of cleaning (scan virus and malware online, spubot, Ad-aware, etc) .

But when I tried to run most (not all) of " *.exe" files from my USB hard disk 3.5", I received one of these errors below :

How can I fix this problem ? Does that mean i lost all exe files ?

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Please don't post a gif/jpeg picture to show the problem, they are not needed and also hard on anyone who uses dialup. The logs will suffice and are best read in default black font, thank you. If you follow the directions I would be glad to look at a HJT log to see if I can help with malware on your computer.

Here are other instances of a similiar issue:

Worm.VB.dz <<< sounds like some kind of p2p worm as a results of sharing infected files.

You may just want to consider a reformat and then be more careful in what you download.

Post a least a HJT log as a starting point if you wish me to look.

Thanks
