Hello,
Try this 1
Go to your "Desktop" --> Hold the "Windows Key" and press the "R" key.
"Run" window will appear. Type cmd and press Enter. "Command Prompt"
will appear. Here I assume your external drive letter as F.
Now connect your external hard drive and enter the below commands.
attrib -h -r -s f:\autorun.inf --> Press Enter.
del f:\autorun.inf --> Press Enter.
This will delete the autorun.inf file from your external drive.
Now to see your hidden files, enter the below command
attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.* --> Press Enter.
start f: --> Press Enter. This will open your external drive. Now look for your
files.
Later scan your PC using the Malware's Antimalware. Click on the below link

Update it and perform deep scan.
Good Luck
