Hi ,

I've got problem with my flash disk 2.0 GB. It is ufo.exe virus, that deletes all the data in my usb. Not only that, When i try to format flash disk, it said that it's write protected but trully, I never ever switch my usb to write protected.

I am afraid that virus will affect with my computer because I always transfer some data to my computer through that USB.

Are u guys, have ever experience this problem? Please advice me what should I do to clean up that virus. Thanks so much

Regards,

Arif Liminto

forgot something, unplug the internet and also run the tool under safe mode also. it runs on normal mode, but it works better under safe mode.
