Hey! Kioko Victor.

This problem is not that big. This problem could arise because normally we use our flash drives on other PC's to get the required data.

Actually the problem will arise by injecting the flash drive to other PC's because we do not know whether the PC we are using are safe from viruses or not, while using that PC viruses could attack your flash drive.

Solution: You only need to Format your Flash Drive completely.

Hello Kico_Victor,

The problem which you mentioned actually arises when a PC is infected with virus.

To get rid of this problem you may install an Updated Antivirus software and run a complete system scan.

Then plug in the flash drive and format it. If it still remains, then you should re install the operating system.

Installing the operating system you got to install an Updated Antivirus and do the same this again (scan and format flash drive).

Remember don’t explore any drives before you install the Antivirus and run the scansion. I can guarantee you that in this way your problem will be 100% solved.

For good Antivirus, I recommend you to use Avira free anti virus. 

Have a nice day buddy.
