Difference between FAT 32 and NTFS file system?

FAT32 and NTFS both are file systems used by windows operating system, to store files in hard disks.

FAT32 can not hold files more than 2GB, because in the background it takes more space to store files than the actual requirement. For example to store a 2KB file, it requires 32KB. But works on multiple operating system.

NTFS means NT File Management System, works only on a single operating system.

Why I could not store files bigger than 2MB in my Pendrive? Is it a Virus Problem?

This is not a Virus Problem.
Pen drives formatted in FAT 32 format, can not store files bigger than 2MB.

Follow the steps below to format your pen drive to NTFS File System.
  • Go to My Computer
  • Right Click
  • Select File System as NTFS
  • Click Format -> OK
