WScript.exe is Infected By Malware and Firefox Opens Harmful Websites

Yesterday I witnessed a script based malware attack on my computer. This malware, which infected my computer came from my friend's USB drive. He connected that pen drive to my PC and double clicked a folder in it. Unfortunately, that folder was a shortcut created by this malware. Target location of the folder was; C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c start WScript d3d3\icec.js & Start Explorer.exe "RECYCLER" and I believe WScript.exe is infected by this malware.

This script automatically set the home page to "http:// india4you. info/r.asp#" in Firefox. Also, the default Search too changed to one malicious URL address.
