Hi,

Try formatting the unit in SAFE mode

Format it as FAT not FAT32 or NTFS

You might consider......its not just your flash drive thats infected......your harddrive may all be infected. Just a few minutes ago....I had two emails sent to me that were infected with worms. You have to be very carefull these days the Net is saturated with viruses etc.
