Remove the Virus:

First of all, connect your pen drive/Flash drive to a PC that is protected with most
updated version of a good antivirus and then scan it. Fix all the virus threats that
are detected by the antivirus. Note: If you again connect the ash drive to a
computer which is not completely protected by a good antivirus, you may help the
virus nd its new home!

Recover the Data:

Once all the infected les are removed from the pen drive, go to command prompt
or CMD on your computer and run the following DOS command. Here we assume
that the Flash drive is G: drive. If its not G: then replace G with correct le er as
applicable.
