How to protect your computer from virus in pen drives

Thanks for the link buddy.

Hi ,

I am not able to open or format my pen drive. whrn i click on open it shows “Please insert a disk into drive”. I tried this pen drive on other system. and when i right click on pen drive it shows free space 0 and used drive 0 bt there is a light in pen drive. and in device manager it shows this drive is working fine.I think pen drive is fine. so, can you please suggest me what i need to do next.

but i just have one question, if anyone could help please,
after using the free commander, and trying to delete those .exe files, these files appear again and again.

@Dosh

If the files are appearing again themselves, there must be some more files which are generating them . Look for some suspicious autorun or dll files etc, that could be generating those executable files. Delete such suspicious files.

Dear sir,

I have a problem with my flash.when i connected it to the computer the following message appears.

” The disk can not be written because the it is write protected. Please remove the write protection from the volume in drive
\Drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR11 ”

When i try to format it, it apperas a message “Disk is write protected”.I can’t copy new files into it (windows and linux).
A virus like software is inside it called “DriveGuard.exe” (microsoft corporation)and its autorun file. Please tell me how to
remove these files from flash and how to remove write protection from flash.To my another flash can’t copy more than 600 MB
(its size is 2GB). When it overcomes 600 MB is also appears the write protected message. But it does not contain the “DriveGuard” and
autorun filefile.
