    Hello friends........

    I have a very very weird problem......

    I have a computer...confused and some pen drives / mp3 players (like ipods...)

    Now, suddenly one of my pen drive started showing the files with unrecognized characters, sizes of GB and TB each.... and creation date like 2020, 2700 etc.,

    I am really confused..... thought of deleteing the files... but unable to ..... it is saying cannot delete the file.

    I faced this problem with a couple of other pen drives also.

    Once i faced this problem with my friends Computer also, one of the Harddisk partition showed like this..... and i formated the partition and it is ok.

    I have formated the pendrives / mp3 players but still again the sequence repeats.

    I am attaching some screen shots of the windows explorer.

    Can anyone pls let me know whether this is a virus or some kind of problem.....

    Please help me in this regard.......

    Looks more like file system corruption to me. I'm going to move this to the Software Forum. Note you would not get any responses to polls in messages posted in the Malware Forum. No one else can post in your thread except you and authorized malware fighters.
