    Hi, I have a flash drive Kingston DataTraveler 100G2 16Gb, and for some time I noticed an error when you try to enter
    USB flash drive when connected to a PC looks like this:

    After "entry into the" here we get such a thing (and this is weird, because it is "some" shortcut to the file. Dll)
    [img] [url]http://files.tinypic.pl/i/00348/klm9eadf469h.jpg[/url] [/ img]

    And when you try to get input on it like this kind of shortcut:
    [img] [url]http://images.tinypic.pl/i/00348/wnkiimytk1tj.jpg[/url] [/ img]


    I would add that the flash drive was already formatted in different formats NTFS, FAT32.
    Was also scanned by the Antivirus, and nothing is unfortunately not possible.

    Any advice?

    never seen a flash drive have stuff on it after a format... does it have some new age funky security encrypt this and that features? it would be strange if it was formatted as NTFS and it would still spit out an error about some FAT file system files...

    also doesn't it allow you to copy files into the directory where the shortcuts are? I don't think it would even be possible for those files to remain there if you format the flash drive...

    So, I can copy the files to a folder shortcut, but after pulling flashmemory files disappear. Strange because the USB flash to the TV, sees all that is in it. Not know what it may be, I have no idea what it already may be.

    "trololo"?

    So the system error message roughly translates: "No crys library entry".

    Are you sure your PC is not infected then? Virus removal guide here

    as Prostar pointed out might be that you have some interesting piece of malware. That or your windows are messed up in some weird way... Try formatting it using another PC or a live linux distro or something like that, sounds more and more like an issue with your PC rather than flashdrive itself...
