HELP with a file called DUMMY
« on: October 03, 2017, 11:20:10 AM »
Every time I create a new folder in my USB port a new file appears, it is called DUMMY and I can not delete it. My avast antivirus does not detect any infection...
Is it a virus?
How can I get rid of it? Is it possible without format?
Will I spread it if I transfer the files to the PC?


Al crear una nueva carpeta en mi usb aparece un archivo llamado DUMMY que no puedo borrar. Mi antivirus no detecta nada... Es un virus? Como puedo deshacerme de él sin formatear el USB? Si copio los archivos al PC lo propago?
Gracias!
