hmm....basically most of the viruses in flash drives wouldn't affect the current files in the drive. they copy another malicious file to the flash drive. i hope those are the viruses which are infected.

QUOTE(iceman31 @ Jun 14 2009, 11:39 PM) yup... that's the problem... i keep telling my mum... it will delete the files... she wont believe it because she send the pen drive to a shop... n the shop clean without deleting the files... hmmm....actually it really depends on the virus lo...but nowadays almost all common viruses have to be deleted...sadly to say...the thing is...back up your documents if possible...maybe make an extra copy to the hard disk would be the fastest and easiest way which most people do lo...  |
