I have a flash drive that has a folder as its icon, which I know is a trojan but then there are folders in the drive that are showing the size is 153gigs and 19.7 gigs respectively, the drive is only 16 gigs.

I uploaded a pic of what it looks like.

any idea of what this could be?

thanks

Due to family matters that require my time and efforts, I am unable to continue helping with malware cleaning at this time. If and when these matters are resolved, I will return to the board.

Since the only other helper in the Virus and Malware forum is Broni, I will ask him to pickup the open threads I have going, if and when he can.
