The problem is definitely a virus. Your pendrive might have got affected with one of autorun.inf virus. It basically disallows you to access directly or by double clicking to the drive. It restricts its accessibility. You need to scan up the drive and make the necessary things to happen. Use an updated antivirus in order to get rid of the virus.

This is an issue of autorun.inf virus. There is possibility that you might not be able to remove the virus by scanning the drive. The virus may be infecting your system due to which when you inserted the drive it got transferred to it as well. Also the virus do get activated when you try to access the specific folder or file it has infected. It then starts executing its process. You need to format the drive.

Some of the autorun virus affecting the drives are also not able to get healed after been formatted. The thing is you need such an antivirus which detects and removes the virus immediately. Autorun eater is one of the antivirus the software that allows you to remove autorun.inf virus. It removes it and enables you to access the the drive by double clicking. try the software. It might help you out.
