My USBs are messing up

KaizTheMonster

I don't know what happened but

Everytimes i plug my USB to a new computer it creates a blank folder then a shortcut folder of that USB

then inside the blank folder there's nothing. well obviously but it takes 88kB.

Inside the shortcut is my usual things n stuff. But 2 more folders are created. It's called h2o and a blank one

Sometimes it pops up 1.0.0.0 folder and all of the folders created are 88kBs. It pops up malware alert even after i format it...

Someone please help :(

Then something's wrong with the drives. How many is it? Could you have malware on your computer that is causing them to start acting like this?

I always have anti virus going.

And There are 2 files when you open the USB folder.

1 blank and one shortcut.

When you open the shortcut You'll get 1.0.0.0 folder which has nothing in it and then a folder called h2o then another blank folder.
