USB Flash Drive Problem

    I bought a 2 GB USB drive barely a month ago. It got infected by a virus through my university network and because of that I couldn't access it directly from My Computer. I used AVG antivirus to remove the virus and it did its job but I still couldn't access it directly. That's why I decided to format it after which it did work. However, when I woke up the next morning to use my flash drive again, it had stopped working. My computer (and others, too; I checked) began to recognize it as a disk drive and kept asking me to insert a disk into the drive. The Properties window is also telling me that there is no space in it anymore. I was wondering if there was anything at all I could do to fix this problem. Please feel free to ask if you need any other details that might help.

    I'm sorry if I couldn't express my problem clearly. I'm from Bangladesh and English isn't my native language. Also, if this thread doesn't belong here, then please let me know so that I can move or delete it.

    Thank you for responding so quickly! However, my USB drive still isn't working because the software I was linked to couldn't do the formatting. Each time I tried to run it, I got an error message that said 'Can't find device! Please replug the device.' I've tried running this program on another PC and it came up with the same message so I know it's not just my PC that is acting up.

    Is there anything else that I could do? Some other software - like the one I was linked to - that I could use to solve my problem? Please help me!
