Lately Ive noticed several folders on my flash drive and external hdd have "turned into" .exe files?
Today I copied my files from my flash drive to my netbook, reformated the flash drive then copied the files back onto the flash drive (they are all either .gp5 .psd .ai or .jpg files as I use the flash drive for school homework).
But after plugging in my flash drive into my pc again this evening I have found that the actual folders have become hidden folders and .exe files with the same name have have appeared aswell. When I run the .exe files they load for a moment then open the folders that they are named after.
I am having similar problems with my external HDD aswell. Has anyone else had this problem happen to them? Is it likely my files have become infected with something?
