Kaxela is a type of autorun worm that propogates through infected disks and removable drives. This means that a user must physically connect the disk or drive to their system to become infected.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.

The worm infects the system by dropping a copy of itself and the autorun.inf file into the drive. During the infection process, the worm will make copies of itself and place them in various, randomly generated files, then delete the original copy of the worm.
Once installed, the worm will also attempt to connect to two sites, most likely in order to send information, to download malicious programs or to receive further commands.
