philp Posted November 9, 2008 CID Share Posted November 9, 2008 Probably some sort of spyware. What was on the flash drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted November 10, 2008 CID Share Posted November 10, 2008 I would say the drive has been wiped clean, and the folder is generated from windows, the icon you had before came from the drive, and is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbuster2007 Posted November 10, 2008 CID Share Posted November 10, 2008 i agree. there are flash drives with small programs, icons, folders pre-installed. reformatting deletes 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
