I reccomend you to do scan with online Antivurus

HouseCall - Free Online Virus Scan - Trend Micro USA

It should be able to remove it

Else, you could download Malware Bytes Anti Malware and do scan after updating it,

Either way your virus should be removed after you do any of these

First thing first dude... its not a Virus! Windows 7 have this problem.
One easiest and possibly the best solution:
Insert a disk. Open the CD. And now, JUST DELETE THAT (desktop.ini) FILE !

And report if you see that file again.

Yup, I don't think Desktop.ini is an virus. It's much like Thumbs.db

thumbs.db stores the image thumbnail info so that explorer can easily show the icons on top of the folders, like in thumbnail view.
