    Need your help on this one. USB infected with the Malware as mentioned below  .The USB has a write protection which is not understood by me
    Ran a scan and here are the results

    Kaspersky Scan

    Object:
    f\winthb.exe
    Hoax.Win32.AutoHotKey.a

    Disinfection is not possible

    Cannot be deleted

    Skip (recommended)

    Add to exclusion

    These are the choices that comes up.

    Downloaded the Flash disinfector and ran the same. Need to get rid of this virus of if nothing came be done.Then show me a way to format the USB.Thank you for your time

    Format the USB? All right. (Note: you will lose everything on it)

    Download this HP formatting tool:
    http://files.filefront.com/SP27608exe/;9868201;/fileinfo.html

    Once installed, run it and format your USB Drive.
