    Is it a USB Flash Drive?

    Go to Computer, right-click on the drive (usually F:\), and check if "Read only" is checked.

            Did you at any time write protect the drive or any of it's contents ? ?

            You need to begin answering some of the questions asked if you expect positive results to your dilemna...

              Can you use the Flash Drive on another computer?

              Also, out of curiosity, why is it called 'Virus'?
