    Well, the only way to clean out your pen-drive is to run anti-virus and anti-malware programs on it. Depending on the virus, basically deleted a suspected file regularly does not cure the contaminated device.

    you can "transport" lots of viruses with an usb, since you use it on many PC's

    Is it possible to scan the drive before giving any viruses chances to run once the drive is inserted?
