my tumbdrive now contain nothing but the "new folder.exe",
i've tried to delete it, but it create itself.
thus, i try to format is... but the process failed..
then i scan it with AVG antivirus, but it found nothing...

now i dare not use this tumbdirve...
but it seem wasted if i just leave it like that.
Hence, i wish to recover this tumbdrive(pendrive).

Hi,

Have you tried using AVG Antispyware on the thumbdrive? You will need to update to the latest definitions, then go to "Custom Scan" and add your thumbdrive for scanning.

The reason why I requested you to visit the thread and provide us some logs is because there might be a possibility that yours system is not as clean as you think and something might be the culprit for adding "new folder.exe" in your thumb.

That said, I still recommend you to perform those instructions and allow us to take a look at your logs.
