Different AV vendors use different codes. CLAM is not popular in
Windows world, so their codes aren't in most articles.

Worm.VB-269 = W32/Autorun.worm!rz = Worm:Win32/Autorun.LD =
WORM_VB.JRI = Trojan.Agent.AMQM

( Thank you France ! )
so google this -
  "W32/Autorun.worm!rz"  OR "Worm:Win32/Autorun.LD"  OR "WORM_VB.JRI"
OR "Trojan.Agent.AMQM"

Suspected of infected Registry as well net drive/removables, as Hosts
file blocking security tool DNS.

The MS system cleaners may be able to clear this up for you.

[ In the general desktop case, the guys are right about wipe and
update being the surest solution -- and resistance to THIS threat on
later editions (took long enough!) but since you HAD this problem, you
obviously are stuck supporting legacy so I didn't bother mentioning
such irrelevance. This specific trojan/worm is simple enough that MS
free tools linked from their page above should be sufficient. Lather
rinse repeat: run A, B, A, B, ... until both say CLEAN.  ]

Step ONE is still either shutting down the network (probably
unacceptable) or blocking these files from reappearing as discussed
previously, so it doesn't re-infect as you clean. And root on the
share should be R/O for cleanliness from now.
