I've used flash drives with viruses without getting infected- like I said, I have autoplay disabled for all drives. sure, I have to manually open installations and the like, but it's a small price to pay.

You need to travel to our Virus and Spyware section and follow the instructions at the top of the page...if the flash drive got re-infected after a format then your machine is infected as well...

    I have that enabled but because I have good security I dont have to worry too much.  Good thing I was around.  Joking but I seriously advised what patio said to beef up your protection.  If this ever happened again.  Reminds me of cloner for those who recall it.
