The reason is simple,once some virus has infected the pen drive and has created autorun entries, it can run any-kind of task through auto-play feature.

So to fix it, we first of all need to Disable Autoplay on all removable drives. see the following link http://www.troublefixers.com/how-to-protect-your-computer-from-virus-in-pen-drives/

After this, Insert the pen drive, do not open the drive or double click on it, simply insert it. Now its time for some cleaning by removing Virus created autorun entries, see this following link for removing autorun entries.
http://www.troublefixers.com/scan-and-remove-suspicious-autoruninf-with-autorun-eater-virus-removal-tools/

That is it, its done. But if you still face problem with the drive, format the pen drive. We hope you find it useful.

Kingston 8 GB pen drive is not recognizing on my Laptop. Error is "one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned".

HI, I think it could bedue to virus activity. Some virus make the contents of the drive hidden, that'swhy user can't see the files and the space available for use is less than thecapacity and also can not open the drive. It is suggested thatgo to FOLDER OPTIONS - and select SHOW HIDDEN FILES. It may show the hiddenfiles. If can not show ,hidden file (tools >folder option>view> check on show hidden file>check off hide protected and checkoff hide extension) now can see all hidden file in c drive. If not think...... For ensure again run >type> msconfig > hit can not open ms config ifvirus effected run > type> regedit>hit>can not open registry ifvirus effected run > type >gpedit.msc>hit can not open group editpolicy if virus effected Otherwise, if youdon't have any vital data on the drive, just format it in another pc.Pleasenote, before insert the Pen drive .Go to run command from start menu OR Press Winkey+R and type gpedit.msc and hit >Usser configuration >system>turn off auto play >enable >use downarrow key select all drive >apply >ok. Control panel >administrativetools > service>select any word in right side and press s for selectShell Hardware Detection> d -click >use down arrow key >disable >start.And now can insert pen drive and format.
