So this is why I am sharing this post with you today, the reason for this problem is when ever your flash drive is infected with an autorun.inf virus the anti-virus will remove it if there is any(at the root of the drive e.g X:/).

Next go to My Computer and look at the drive icon followed by the letter example F:/, now go back to Disk heal and type in the name of the drive letter beside "Fix disk problems type drive letter and click fix" option the click on the Fix button.

Now you will get a pop warning box telling in order for the changes to take effect you should reinsert your flash drive.
