USB keys: My files transformed into screensaver format HELP

liahhh Posted messages 45 Status Member -

I had a little problem with my USB key. When I plug it into my PC, the files are transformed into a screensaver. This started after I was at a cybercafé and plugged my key into one of the PCs; I think there was a virus that spread. Moreover, when I plug my USB drive into another PC, the files are completely unreadable, such as photos, videos, etc. I searched the internet about this problem but found nothing. If someone could please help, I really need to recover all my files in good condition.

    Hi Liahhh,

    when you retrieve your photos, put them in another folder than your USB key to

    see if you can view them

      When I plug my USB drive into another PC, there’s a folder named: RECOVERY. And when I click on it, this is what appears; https://www.cjoint.com/c/CGeb0NrgeTl

      I’m really disappointed!!! I’m afraid of losing all my data and I want to recover it in good condition as it was.

    Hello

    ▶ Download UsbFix (created by El Desaparecido) on your Desktop.

    ▶ If your antivirus alerts, ignore it and temporarily disable the antivirus.
    Connect all your external data sources to your PC (USB flash drive, external hard drive, etc...) without opening them.
    ▶ Double-click on UsbFix.exe. (for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 users, right-click => run as administrator"

    ▶ Click on [Removal].
    ▶ Let the tool work.

    ▶ At the end of the scan, a report will be displayed, post it in your next reply on the forum.

    ▶ The report is also saved at the root of the system drive ( C:\UsbFix.txt ).

      Thank you for your help. I finally managed to read my files in a normal format, only one small issue: 4 of my files are there, but when I click on them it says "empty folder." I tried deleting one that wasn't necessary and it showed how many photos would be deleted, so I quickly canceled the deletion... One last favor, please?

      I wanted to save it but I exited by accident... I found a program to download to recover my lost files. But I have a big problem, I have no internet on my PC, not even wireless networks, nothing shows up since I used the program you advised me to download, all while clicking on "delete". When I connect on my phone with wireless network the connection works normally but not on my PC!!!

      I go to connect to a network and they tell me "no connection". I'm now using my internet cable! No wireless networks appear what should I do ????

      There is marked:

      This action cannot be performed because the file is open in the vedw, close the file and try again.

      And for the other it says the specified reader is not found.

      Thank you for your help. The only issue now is that when I plug in my USB key certain photos are deleted from the folder and when I recover my lost photos with software and put them back into the folder I’m told they are already there even though I don’t see them, they’re probably in transparency, what can I do???

    hi liahhh,

    on the key, given the image you posted, it’s 1 copy of the recovery partition>>>>

    which must also be found in Disk Management

    ps: make sure you indeed have this partition in your Disk Management and do not delete anything on your key for now

    see you later

    Plug in anything that can connect to your USB ports (flash drive, external disk, SD card too, MP3, etc.)

    download here:

    http://www.security-helpzone.com/Tools/g3n/Load_SalityKiller.exe

    Disable your protections

    launch it, click on start cleaning

    At the end SalityKiller.txt will appear on your desktop

    DO NOT POST IT ON THE FORUM (it's too long)

    right-click it, send to, compressed (zipped) folder

    then:

    host the archive at http://pjjoint.malekal.com and share the obtained link

    Pffffffffffff --" !!!! I plugged in my USB keys incorrectly!! It’s stupid, yes I know :/ Thanks anyway for your help! Well I can read my files correctly now, only I noticed that some photos disappeared and as I said here a bit earlier I had downloaded a software to recover my lost photos, and when I move my recovered photos into the folder they say that those photos or folders are already there, whereas when I click on the file it says "empty folder" I think some of the missing photos are in transparency, any solution?

    well yes but I’d like to read it, is it normal that it returns, it’s the result of the scan
