Conficker virus removal and data retrieval

This is a quote I received from my friend. I am not sure how to approach this and would very much appreciate any insights into how I can help my friend with this problem:
Here is the quote:
. I am pretty sure I have the Conficker virus on a memory stick and I would realy like to get the info from it. I was using the memory stick before my computer went down. When I pluged the stick in the library computer it gave me a error message but I forget what the message was but I am very sure that my laptop had that virus so the memory stick which I used regularly should have had it too.
What is the safest way to get my info? Or is that not a option?


Thanks so much everyone.
