I think this error is due to a Chinese virus, i am not able to format the drive. All option to remove write protection has been applied.

Broken flash drives often display this incorrect error message. The Windows I/O routines display the "write protection" message for any unable to write condition.

If you get this message on multiple computer with the same flash drive I suggest you replace the drive.

Good Luck
