| Nov 19, 2015 at 13:04 | comment | added | Matthew | There are ways to clean infected devices, but they require fairly specialist knowledge, especially if they involve firmware manipulation. Given the price of flash drives, you're better off physically destroying it and buying a replacement unless you have that specialist knowledge. | |
