              How old is the pen drive? 

              Have you plugged it into another computer to see if it's accessible?

              Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

                asivakumar, what are you doing?!  How do you know there is a virus?  What information provided leads you to believe there is a virus?
                Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?
