Hello,

What anti-virus are you using on your own computer?

The conventional autorun.inf poses no security risk, but this may be some kind of trojan. Whether the threat is real or not, just to be on the safe side I would remove the file in question. Better yet, I'd make a backup of all your important files on your USB flash drive and format it. You could give it another scan afterwards.
