They can be programmed to deliver malware from infected computers and other USB memory devices.  I plan to use mine and, if I loan one to somebody, I don't want it back.  You cannot delete ALL the information on a memory stick if it is programmed with malware.

The only person who I ever accept a usb device from for my personal computer is Az. Aside from that it is an absolute no-go. She sends me stuff on them all the time.
