According to this datasheet:
https://kc.mcafee.com/resources/sites/MCAFEE/content/live/PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/23000/PD23756/en_US/McAfee_Labs_Threat_Advisory_W32_Xpaj.pdf

the malware abuses the autorun function on removable drives, but I'm sure
it has other tricks up its sleeve too.  Disabling autorun might fix it,
assuming it uses no other exploits.  Do you have an executable sample by
any chance?  I suggest putting together a patched machine and change
settings until you are no longer able to infect it.

this link also looks like a decent roadmap if you wanted one:

Good luck.
