Wired Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Try an online scanner, but you may just have to mount the USB as a HDD. Either way take off your files, scan them, then format the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Depends on your operating system. Either way, do you actually have a virus, or are you just asking what you should do if you get one on your USB stick? Have you tried online anti-virus scanners on the drive? What operating system are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
