My usb drive has been hit with Malware. Is there a good program for removing it?
It turned my folders into .exe programs, then hid them. On one of my laptops, it won't let me check "show hidden folders." Seriously: every time I click it, it reverts back. I'd just google USB malware removal, but I'm a little untrusting at this point. Any advice?

Install a good antivirus - AVG, AVIRA, AVAST (all free) and scan with them.

Install Avira antivir - Antivirus, I trust it and it removes the virus you talking about
Download page
http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php
Now scan the drive
From next time don't use the drive on untrusted PC
Avira is free to use personally and free updates too.

1. DONT EVER USE AUTO-RUN OR RUN ANY FILES.
2. In "(my) Computer" right click then select "format" and follow on-screen instructions.
3. If all else fails, run computer in safe mode and repeat step 2.
To get into safe mode: When turning on your computer, keep hitting f8 then select "Safe mode".
