first, download and install this tool from Panda

It will reduce the chances of the virus spreading to your machine

then plug in the pen drive and see if it is recognised. If it is, then try scanning with your AV software. If it still has problems, then it probably does need reformatting - or may be faulty

Best option may simply be to replace it: they are cheap items, prone to failure and should basically be treated as disposable

what does it say about it in device manager?

[bsivakanth]

It is not recognized in device manager.

use USBdeview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html to uninstall any/all USB devices, then restart the machine, then plug in the pen drive and see what happens
If it is still not recognised, then the drive is probably faulty
