I believe it's a boot sector/partition or MBRvirus & that's why I managed to remove it from a Hard Disk & Floppy Disks. Flash disks doesn't seem to have a boot sector or partition. How do you then remove the virus? Where does the virus hibbernet if there is no partition MBR?

Format it! Nothing ever survives formating except the device being formatted.

Both the previous answers are essentially correct providing you have nothing on the flash disc which you want to keep. If however you have any important data on the flash disc you will lose it if you format it. If this is the case run your A/V programme and select the flash drive for scanning. That should clear it.

Format the Flash Drive to ensure you clear it of everything.
