shakeeb_shuwebfirst of all backup the imortant data available in pendrive and install Mcafee Antivirus Enterprise edition which can be collected from friends circle if available. Format the pendrive either using WindowXP or Command prompt commands.
If u want to prevent your dat getting affected from those harmful worms n viruses use compressed zip folder in pendrive to store data rather than usin normal folder. The compresses zip folders can be affected by viruses and the data stored in them will be secure n safe..........
Good luck.....!!! -

@sirijagan
tried formatting through dos but it gives the same error that comes while normal formatting 'disk is write protected'
haven't tried linux yet. what is the command to format in linux? -
Raviteja.gin linux no program can be executed with out commands.
so, virus is nothing but a executable program with malicious output like formatting the remaining content in the pen drive, etc.
so, u can open the pen drive and simply delete the file containing the virus.
i think there is no format option in linux -

There is no such option named as format in Linux. You can simply open the pen drive and delete all the files containing virus in Linux Box.

sudo rm -f filename ----> doesn't work
Tried changing the file permissions
chmod ugo+rwx filename
and then deleting it
rm -f filename ---> gives the same error.. Cannot remove file: read only file system -
Raviteja.gpseudo,
if you are using Ubuntu Linux then give a right click and change permissions of file access as "create and delete files" then save the permissions and then delete it any virus can be removed in Linux.
hope it will work. -
