Hi,



It may be problem of virus therefore your normal file has been converted in exe file and 2nd thing may be at the time of copying you have copied only folder not complete data .

You have viruses in your usb drive and you should scan it with a good antivirus like "Kespesky or Symantec.



or you can open it from the address bar, by reaching the usb drive icon.

Answer 3

Sounds to me you copied the "Shortcut" to the files to the USB, and not the files, and now cannot find the source. You need to go back to were ever you copied and make sure it is the files and not just the shortcut to them that you copy to the USB.

Answer 5

It is a PC Virus





Run a scan in safe mode only to remove the virus.



Also, disable System restore before you do this as the virus alse creates entries in the System Restore Points store volumes.



Additionally, disable Autoplay for ALL DRIVES Via a GPO (If you're on a domain), and also disable SImple File Sharing if it's enabled to prevent the infection from propogating itself by binding to files.

Answer 6

you're probably going to have to format the flash drive and reupload the files to it from the original source, but by copying and pasting instead of clicking and dragging. sometimes when you click and drag (idk why) it only copies a shortcut of the file you tried transferring

Answer 7

this is a virus and your antivirus can't detect this because your antivirus is out of date.

try to clean virus into another computer with updated antivirus software
