The other name of Pen Drive is USB Flash Drive.
Now-a-days, usage of pen drives are becoming more. A Pen drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than a CD/DVD and also very easy to carry. By using a Pen drive we can carry so much amount of memory from one place to another. But as it is a rewritable, there is an ease of chance of affecting Virus, Spywares and Mallwares etc.,. where as CD/DVD there is no problem of this except while copying them we should take care of them.

As there are so many Anti-Virus available in Market, Virus is also available at a huge amount without any cost. So many types of Virus are there. But the most dangerous virus presently available is Shortcut Virus.
