Flash Drive Virus

To check your flash drive, click start in your task bar, click run, inside the dialog box type cmd when the command prompt opens, change to your flash drive directory. To change to your flash directory type you drive location and semi column (e.g. G:) and press enter. Then type dir/w/a then hit enter

The files on your flash drive will appear. If there’s a virus or any suspicious file, you should remove it.

“How?”, you ask.

Type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* then hit enter. This will remove the attributes of the files so read-only, archives, system and hidden files can be deleted.

Now, type the filename or folder that you want to delete.

For example, autorun.inf (Autorun.inf is a virus).

Type del autorun.inf then hit enter.

Now, check the flash drive again, type dir/w/a or just hit the up arrow key. It should be gone.
