First, umount
Then, enter the following:
Sudo mount-t msdos/dev/sd */media/disk
Which of the following is different from the default one?
The-t parameter is changed from vfat to msdos. Because vfat is for fat32. Msdos is for fat16.

Open the USB flash drive again and you will find that the file name has changed to autorn. Because fat16 file names can only display 6 characters. If many of them can only be used, the virus can be deleted.
