Right click on start, open explorer, go to the flash drive, execute the last item on the drive(the icon has a snake on it). Everything after that is automatic. Any infected files will be put in VipreRescue/Quarantine directory. About once a month download a new copy of Vipre for future use.

If this does not work, boot in the safe mode and repeat the steps above.

Good luck
