PC suddenly turns all the files on ANY usb plugged in into shortcuts

[kielmaru]

Just this morning, i was just transferring huge files on my hdd normally.
But just this night, plugged in my player, saw all the files and folders turned into shortcuts. I could still open them though. But that messed up my mp3 player. GREAT. So now i have 2 problems.

Ive asked for help and did CCleaner scan, MalwareBytes scan, adwcleaner and avira scan.

Still nothing. Every time i copy a file to a sub, gets turned to shortcuts.

What should i do?

How did you transfer the files?

[kielmaru]

Do you think that was to blame? When i transferred those files?
Well i transferred them normally. Just a usb connector. The other one is a bit complicated cause it is an internal hdd. i just used a sata to usb connector.

I thought everythings gonna be fine when i wake up today but its still the same.

What I meant was did you copy and paste or something like that to transfer the files.

[kielmaru]

Yeah I cut and paste from one drive to another. Thats it. And copied one file from my desktop to the other drive. Why?

[SuperDave]

Cut and paste is not a good way to do that. If something goes wrong, you've lost the file.

Were you transferring them to another place on your hard drive or to somewhere else?
If you transferred them to an external or USB memory drive you can learn more about this problem here.
