Bastard worms

Lately my memory stick has been telling me that it's infected with a worm, but stupidly I thought nothing of it, healed the infection and carried on with whatever I was doing.
Only recently has the Anti-Virus thing told me it's a bloody Downadup worm, which is the worm that caused an epidemic in computers in 2008, I didn't know what it was properly until I researched.

So now I'm both annoyed and worried because of all the files I have on this damn computer, art, emails from old friends etc. and I really don't know what I'd do if I lost it all somehow.
Does anyone know ways to get rid of it or at least protect my files until I can get the computer seen to? Tried Google, but I'll face it...it's all gibberish to me.

Anyone who bothers to read all this gets a cookie.
