I have a Kingston USB drive (Model: SE9). I can copy files to it at the library computers with no problem, but when I get home where I have no internet connection plugging in the drive cause the following pop-up.

Problem with Shortcut

The file or folder 'piouro'. scr' that this shortcut refers to cannot be found.

The Kingston USB drive shows as blank on my home computer. And if I attempt to open it from "My Computer" I get the pop-up that states that the disk is not formatted.

Download Kaspersky Rescue Disk and install it to a NEW USB
stick, using ANOTHER computer.
Then boot your computer with it and run a scan. You are almost
certainly infected, probably by a rootkit (your computer can read the
autorun.inf, but won't allow you to see it).

Very precise instructions he

You should never allow autorun on external media. Turn it off
once you've got rid of the malware. If you plug that Kingston in with
autorun turned on, bam, you're infected again.

I wouldn't know how to change autorun and the library PCs can't be changed anyway.

I don't know where those "very precise instructions" are for Kapersky, which I downloaded to an empty USB drive, but I can't get past the pop-up that asks me what program to open it up with.
