How did you format the pendrive ? ?
The worm should not have re-appeared after that...
Check to see if there is an autorun.inf file on the pendrive...if there is then your main machine you are plugging the drive into is infected and should be scanned immediately in safemode with system restore turned off.

I scan with AVG and the result gives that the Object - MicrosoftPowerPoint.exe is infected & embedded object & archive infected.

Again how did you format the pendrive ? ?
If you have a Powerpoint presentation then it's infected. I'd delete it immediately.

i right click on the pendrive and choose the option to format.

Does the pendrive still have a file named autorun.inf ? ?

[dratul]

ya when the pendrive is infected it will show the autorun option and when formated then it will not show. i scanned my computer in safe mode and there is no worm. i think there is worm in another computer where i use my pendrive. thanks all of u for guidance.

You might want to use Flash Disinfector on any computers that have been used with your flashdrive.  Do you still encounter the infection?  Also, what protection do you have that is detecting the infection?
