URGENT: USB LOCK 1.0 MADE MY MEMORY STICK UNUSABLE

Hello Everyone,

I really need your help. I used USB Lock 1.0 just to try it http://www.newsoftwares.net/usb-lock/ I locked my memory stick pretty easily, but I can't unlock it back. All my files in the memory stick have been encrypted. I can't find the USBLock.exe file I think it was encrypted as well. I tried re-downloading the USBLock.exe file but I can't paste it in the memory stick because the memory stick now shows as Full, with used capacity 124 KB and Free Space 0 bytes. Nothing happens when I insert the memory stick, so no autorun works, it just shows me encrypted files.

 I am using windows xp, my memory stick is Kingston G2.

I redownloaded the file from here http://www.newsoftwares.net/download/usblock1-en/usb-lock-en.exe then I placed it in the %TEMP% folder, then I ran it but I still got the same response as follows:
"This Program run in USB/External drives.
Copy USB Lock to such a drive and run it."

I used internet explorer to run from the link directly but I still got the same response.

Glad they could fix it for you, first thing you probably did is copy some files off of your USB device :)
