What's the best way for me to protect my USB flash from viruses?

So, any suggestions on what to use bros? I just bought an 8GB Kingston flash and I want to place all my software + OS's there.

Thanks

*Edit*
Well, shit. After my computer finished copying Dreamweaver and Photohop I noticed a new folder created and inside about 40 folders named:
"±±±±±±.±±±±±±±±"

I can't delete any file from my flash now. I can create any files in my flash now.

I guess I have to format it. Fark!
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

All the removable drives are very prone to viruses as they can transfer viruses with data from other computer. The best thing you can do is scan the USB drive every time you plug it into your computer. Some USB's come with preloaded anti virus software so there is an auto scan when ever you plug it in. You should format your Pen drive and scan your computer for viruses now.
