Mostly USB drives spread Viruses and an Unknown particles called Spyware..... these are need to be taken care of because most of the antivirus softwares fails to mitigate them...like the most frequently is...

1. when ever you double click any of drives it doesn't open....because there's an hidden file Autorun.inf ...which runs automatically when we double click any dirve and it does what ever work is specified in that file......so leading to stealing the user private data on that system.....

These can be easily detected using anti-spyware softwares....like Spyware Terminator (free S/W and works excellent)....

so a good system means updated Antivirus and anti-Spyware software....

PS: Correct me if iam wrong

Viruses usally create a registry entry or targets the windows directory especially system32 files.Registry is very easily accessible to many applications.
Firewall might help a bit.measures are taken to remove the viruses aftermath the attack.But Something has to be done to stop the virus from entering the system.

if some system files are infected by the virus , should these files be deleted?
and incase these files are deleted, won't the system will malfunction?

[shadeslayer]

if any system files are infected then you should not delete that files unless and until it is necessary otherwise you delete that files then you OS will crash and then you can repair it using your bootable disk
