Remove the RECYCLER.exe virus

Hello,
please I have a problem with the RECYCLER.exe virus.
When I sent a folder from my PC to my flash drive which was empty before, I found a folder called RECYCLER.exe. It told me it was a virus; I scanned my flash drive but the antivirus didn't detect any viruses, which is strange. And since I copied the folder from my PC, it means this virus is inside, but when I did a full scan, I found nothing.
It told me to show hidden folders by using Control Panel --> Folder Options --> Show hidden files and folders, but the folders remain hidden and when I go back to the folder options, I find the option to show hidden files and folders disabled. I don't know why this problem exists and I can't solve it.
Please help me to destroy this virus and if you have other ideas, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hey there

No panic
C_XX & Chiquitine29 have created what you need!

Download and install UsbFix from C_XX & Chiquitine29

Connect your external data sources to your PC (USB stick, external hard drive, etc...) that may have been infected without opening them

# Double click on the UsbFix shortcut present on your desktop.

# Choose option 1 (Search)

# Let the tool work.

# Then post the UsbFix.txt report that will appear.

# Note: The UsbFix.txt report is saved at the root of the drive. (C:\UsbFix.txt)

(CTRL+A to select all, CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste)

# Note: "Process.exe", a component of the tool, is detected by some antivirus software (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky Anti-Virus) as a RiskTool.
It is not a virus, but a utility designed to terminate processes.
In the wrong hands, this utility could stop security software (Antivirus, Firewall...) hence the alert issued by these antivirus programs.
