clamwin isn't that good. thats all there is to it. i installed the portable version on my flash sometime last year. i then connected my flash to a system infected with brontok.clamwin did not see it. even with the most current definitions.

format your flash drive.

alternatively, go to folder options in your system and

untick 'hide protected operating system files'
untick 'hide extensions for known file types' .
enable show hidden files and folders

you will probably see some autorun.inf and registry entries in your flash drive. delete these.

delete any strange .exe files

if you get a message the file cannot be deleted, fire up process explorer, navigate to the file and kill it.

that should clear your flash.

note that an antivirus is not an excuse for unsafe behavior.
