How can I remove virus in my pen drive permanently? Whenever I use my pen drive at least one folder will catch virus. Even if I scan it and remove it.

If I create a folder and it gets virus then inside the folder of virus there automatically forms many new folders inside the infected folder with names like "ΩäCÄφyu.┼"". And also many other files with such types of name. It is displayed as <Ï> file or 'UQ" file and many more. how can I remove it. Please help me.

First of all Disable autorun for your pen drive.
1.Click the Start and Input "gpedit.msc" in search box, then click the result to open the gpedit.
Expand Administrative Templates >Windows Components > Autoplay Policies in order.Then double click "Turn off Autoplay"
2.Click Enabled, and then select All drives so that you can disable Autorun on all drives.Click Ok at last.
After restarting your computer, you have done all the needed work to disable Auto Play in Windows 7.
