Most of the viruses which are widespread due to OS like Windows can be easily smashed in OS like Ubuntu ;)
Steps to success:
cd /media/<your-usb-drive>
sudo chmod 777 *.*
Common viruses:
- Autorun.inf
- Ravmon.exe
- New Folder.exe
- svchost.exe
- Heap41a
- NewFolder.exe
- System
- RECYCLER
…or any other exe file which may be suspicious.
Remove them:
sudo rm -rf *.exe
sudo rm -rf Autorun.inf
sudo rm -rf RECYCLER
P.S: If step 2 did not help try sudo chmod 777 *
