Can my usb drive become infected with a virus/malware if I plug it into a computer that has a virus? My friend has a virus on his computer and I want to run hitman pro, its on my usb.

I'll do the best I can to resolve your computer issue
Please make sure to carefully read any instruction that I give you. If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, don't continue Stop and ask! Never be afraid to ask questions!

Yes the USB can become infected.

Do not run Hitmanpro, Hitman pro can become aggressive under the right circumstances and delete legit files leaving the computer un-bootable.

Download an run Malwarebytes.

Better still have the user post here.

You can install this program on both computers see link below.
