Aren't they brilliant! And so useful. You can store and transport masses of data so easily. (I knew a school in Manchester, UK, that issued all teachers with a memory stick, and departments used them to store their schemes of work, units of study, lesson plans, worksheets, and other resources - so teachers had instant access to vital materials.)
But these USB devices are fast becoming the latest way that viruses and other unpleasantnesses are spread. It's always good practice to scan a memory stick that isn't yours before downloading any files from it. And get into the habit of scanning your own sticks regularly.
It used to be floppy disks (remember them?) that spread infections; now it's USB memory sticks. Be careful out there!
