Insert your USB drive in the
appropriate USB slot in your computer.
If the Autoplay dialog box appears,
select "Take No Action" and click the "OK" button.
Launch your anti-virus program, such
as AVG Antivirus or Anti Malware.
Select the USB drive for the program
to scan.
Click the "Start Scan"
button or option.
Open the scan history for the USB
drive when the scan is complete to see a list of viruses and warnings
identified by the antivirus software.
If desired, select the options to
"Heal All Infected Files" or "Move the Infected Files to the
Virus Vault" to ensure these files are quarantined from your system.
Highlight each infected file in the
scan history.
Write down the file name of each
infected file identified on the USB drive.
Minimize the application's window.
Select "Run" from the
Windows "Start" menu. In the Run window, type "e:/" at the
command prompt to switch to your USB drive (or type the drive letter for your
USB drive).
Press the Enter key.
Type "attrib -s -h -r -a
*.*" at the command prompt to remove the system, hidden, read-only and
archive file attributes.
Press the Enter key.
Type "del ####.+++" where
"####" is the file name of the infected file and "+++" is
the file extension, at the command prompt line.
Press the Enter key.
For example, "del
terriblevirus.exe" will specifically delete the Terrible Virus executable
file. Repeat for each infected file on your list identified.
Close the command prompt window;
that is, exit the Run utility.
Maximize the window for your
anti-virus program (which is still open) and repeat Steps until no virus is
detected on your USB drive.
Exit the anti-virus application.
