Virus write protect my pendrive?

meaj — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:24:34 +0800

My pendrive has no write protect feature. Today I found out it has been write protected. I can see there are some unknown files in there. It's a virus, I know. Because of the write protect, my Kaspersky can't remove them. Even formatting can't be done now. How do I remove the write protect? Does the virus do this?

Below is a screenshot of the contents of my pendrive. The circled ones are the virus. Got them from my office. My pc is protected from them though (Kaspersky 6.0).

Rare & Vintage Clips

There are lots of wonderful vintage clips out there. Let's share 'em.

This is Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Apache.
Most likely you'll recognize it as part of the soundtrack of Guy Ritchie's Snatch (performed by Fatboy Slim).

Santo & Johnny - Sleepwalk
Can be heard in the movie La Bamba. Known as the 'baby-making music', some of the recent versions are played by Brian Setzer Orchestra and Joe Satriani. (I like Satriani's version)

Faith No More - I started a joke
Not exactly vintage. But I only seen it recently. I like it over the original Bee Gees version and I think Mike Patton's voice is awesome. And yeah, the clip is brilliant.

This is something I came across at Arsenal-mania.com. It's an excel file with 200 pics of famous footballers in it.
What you have to do is name the footballers. Sounds easy? Try it out yourself.

These are the ones that I've got correct. There are a few others that's familiar enough but I just couldn't remember the names. I suggest you try it out first before you look.

Want to improve photoshop skills

I started using Photoshop CS2 last year. I've been learning stuff through online tutorials. Recently I created some wallpapers and sent them to Arsenal Malaysia website. But I really don't know if they're any good. Any comments from sifus around here will be great.
And BTW, how do you determine the colours to use? Color wheel?

Here are my works
