[QUOTE="ibrahim19, post: 3447961, member: 928419"] I assume that this answer might not be helpful to you anymore, but I deal with the same issue nowadays. I have once found out some old flash disks belonging to my father, and when I plugged them into my Windows 11 machine, I have seen the virus you just described. Further your explanation, it just copied itself as a normal file directory but in executive direction. For example, when I plugged in another flash disk containing my personal data, wherein I have a folder called "Religious Papers", and open that folder, I see an application named "Religious Papers" (same as the directory name) with a weird folder icon (on my current Windows 11 machine, it is the Windows XP folder icon but in older Windows versions, like Windows XP or Windows Vista, it is the Windows 9x-Windows NT folder icon), and when I double-click it, nothing seems to happen except for tens of hidden files being copied in the background, which are impossible to be viewed by any means.
