    Yes a virus is a computer program which replicate and distributes itself on a host computer- like a biological virus. Computer virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Unlike a biological virus however it cannot be transmitted through the air. You would need to plug the pen drive into an infected computer.

    I think without the lid they are a little more prone to damage (and therefore loss of your data)but I have two without lids and they seem fine.

    If you are worried about viruses invest in some anti virus software like Norton.
