A malware that affects pen drives

January 10, 2017

From: Archer <iam@here.com.invalid>

Hi all

I encounter a strange problem with anything connected to the USB. I
know there are many files and folders but when I open it I find only a
link and when I click the link the files appear. I surmise that all
the files are set in a hidden folder and the link is created by a
malware. This not only happens in the pen drives but also to a spare
hard disk connected to the USB using an external enclosure.

Though the files are not lost the action results in inconvenience and
copying files makes them corrupt.

Have any one of you encounter this problem - is there a cure for this?
Will be glad to receive help.
