using antivirus, anti malware program (with real time protection) is the best way, it will also protect if the virus infected again..
(some public computer had very low safety)

last, user awareness of safe browsing/installing habit also important..

Yes, but this comp. i'm using doesn't have antivirus.
the other comp. i have has antivirus.

Like i formatted it
then pasted a pic,
eject
place the usb again
pic turns into shortcut

try using antivirus that can run from usb stick.. some av have that capabilities


install the antivirus from the other comp. (virus free) and scan this comp. (infected)..
the problem is not on the usb stick, but in the computer u are using that infected...
not much can do before u cleaned it out first..


u can also try online av/scanner but i don't have any experience first hand how good/effective it is..
