Mostly pen drive
doesn't consist any security measures. Since we use Pen drive in many
PC/Laptops it very easily gets infected with viruses and malwares.
We can easily get rid of these Malwares by scanning it with any good updated Antivirus (no need of Format as it leads to Data loss).
Problem arises when we try to access our data stored in the pen drive.
When we check property of the USB Drive, Disk usage shows there are files in the pen drive but inside pen drive we can't find any!!
Rather we are left with some Shortcuts sometimes.
