recently i scanned my pendrive for viruses and trojans using mcafee.mcafee couldnt remove one file winnthb.exe which remained in pendrive. however i knew another method.
i started cmd.exe in vista home premium.
removed system and hidden properties of the files of the removable drive and then deleted the file. 
click on start ,then run—type cmd and press enter.you can see command prompt pop up.
f: (removable drive —->flash drive or pen drive)
f:>attrib -s -h -r (removes superhidden property so that it becomes a regular file)
f:> dir (to find list of files )
f>del filename.extension
that is all.file gets deleted.
i thought of building a windows application to eliminate the process of using the commands.but i am stuck at deleting few autorun.inf files. i am getting unauthorisedaccessexception error,have to figure out the way soon.
edit: got through the tough part ,want some deadly pen drive viruses now.
will continue….
update: my simple application is ready to download .please report any bugs if any.

Nice site, thanks for information!
BEtter and efective way is First of all desable Autorun from
group policy editor [ GPEDIT.MSC >> system ]
then use WINRAR
to delete it..

dude…there is another trojan, rather virus called resycled which is really bad coz it blocks the internet passage…all the wired and the wireless connection. It actually screws up autorun.inf and some .bat file in system 32. My norton internet security 2009 also got screwed man…this thing is totally serious.
One method of removing is of course, go to ubuntu, and remove the resycled folder which is visible only in LINUX
the other is, take a guess….
Just select the recyled folder and delete with shift+del keys, it will be asking to delete the all files and folder in that with which are read only, then press ok, All the recyled files will be removed or other use Avast Engine or go for kaspersky antivirus with full protection
