Some makes of pendrive come with autorun utilities which are not really required, it's possible Norton is giving you a false positive.
Try formatting the drive again or even zero filling it.

I formated it again and again but the same file show the same Trojan Horse. I tried it to scan with Noadware but it also does not detect.

You could try a zero fill, you can use software like Active Kill Disc, which is on the ultimate boot cd www.ultimatebootcd.com . This is a zero fill application, which writes 0's to the entire drive.
Then just format it again from within Windows.
