Hi Prasanth,
Worm:VBS/Autorun is a worm that spreads by dropping copies of itself onto all available removable drives. It also modifies system security settings.
I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if it helps.
Perform a scan using Microsoft safety scanner and check if it is an infection that is causing this issue.

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety
Scanner again.
Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.
Refer to the article:

The task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
