USB Flash Drive infected, some files corrupted

[TopFreeware]

One more thing to try:

Download the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

If it comes up with errors your usb is not fixable

I'm in Kaspersky right now and I can see my files and everything but I can't delete anything that is in the infected usb drive

Try and run a scan on that pen drive with Kaspersky

You should be able to format from kaspersky and then recover files if you need them

btw if Kaspersky doesn't work then you can use dr web boot cd to save your data or you can send the any file that got hit by malware to your an av software like KIS or Bitdefender i pick Bitdefender for me because i got an usb that got hit by a worm and Bitdefender later made a signature of the malware by giving them the malware and i think the fake files as well that cause it in the 1st place
