Not big problem but just simply annoying. But is big problem once your pendrive can't open to read all the files inside. Is not going to help even if you format it. My usb pendrive was infected by Disk Knight several times. I had a laptop with avast antivirus installed. I plugin and it auto detect Disk knight as a virus and remove it immediately from my usb pendrive.
From my understanding, Avast is not a recommended anti-virus from Microsoft and the opposite, Disk knight is probably NOT consider as a virus under recommended anti-virus like panda, avg, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc..... Here is the list: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/49500
So is simple, just install avast or remove it using any PC or laptop with another anti-virus (not necessary Avast). If you are going to backup your usb pendrive on your hard disk and format it, your pendrive is still infected with disk knight once you plugin.

The USB disk security is a well known software for protecting your system from USB based malwares/threats.
You can plug in any device with USB, such as a USB stick or an external hard disk.

USB does not appear as disk 1 in diskpart because that designation is usually reserved for permanent drives. USB is used to connect the removable drives to the computer.
To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.

I use mbrwiz to wipe the master boot record ( http://mbrwizard.com ), specifically 2.0b version for Windows. Once I unplug and reinsert the USB drive it reinitializes to a clean disk without U3. Keep in mind that this will remove ALL data on the disk! I use the following method under Windows XP: - Download mbrwizard for windows. Unzip and copy it to c:\ - Shell out to a command prompt: Start->Run, type cmd.exe - Start by listing the disks in the system: mbrwiz /list - Identify the disk by the total size as well as the volume label. Find the Disk # associated with this disk. - Wipe the MBR, using the disk # from above, assuming 2 for this example: c:\mbrwiz.exe /disk=2 /wipe=mbr Once the process is complete simply eject the disk. I typically reinsert the disk into a different USB port, it seems like it helps Windows identify it as a new disk.
