Most probably it must have come through your pen drive. Try not to use your pen drive in cybercafe cafe.

Get spy ware terminator.

Shut you computer. Restart on Safe mode ( F8) and then run your spyware terminator. It should take care of that annoying pop up.

Hope it helps

This is a w32.USB Worm which is spreading through Pen,USB,Thump disk, and probably this is how you got it.
There is a whole procedure to remove it manually, but from what I know it can now be removed with the new version of Avast antivirus. You can find it here, it's free

If you can't get rid of orkut with Avast, let me know and I will try to tell you the steps you need to remove it by hand

All the best
