Hi,

Anytime I plug in my USB drive to my laptop, a shortcut named Removable Disk (8GB) will be created and all files and folders on USB drive will go inside that shortcut but they are not hidden and I can access them.

I format USB drive and scan it. This will make USB drive clean but next time I connect it there is the same problem again. I think there is a problem with my laptop.

I scanned laptop with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Hitman Pro. No virus or malware found. I don't know what else I can do to get rid of this virus.

Please help me.

Thank you

Hello,
# Download USB Fix

It will launch automatically, and a shortcut will be created on your desktop.

Choose "Clean" option.
A pop-up will follow :Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, external drives, etc...)
Once you're ready, click "OK".
While cleaning, you will loose access to your desktop, but this is normal.

The numbers of analysed and infected elements are displayed.

# Copy/paste the report here.
