Use Some Good Anti Virus Like Kaspersky & Scan your PC

Your drive (assuming USB) is infected with a virus.
To view the virus (probably its a hidden system file): go the folder options>>View and check the show hidden folders and uncheck the hide system files tags(click yes on recieving the warning).
Now if you see a virus on the drive delete it immediately after noting the name of the virus.
Check your C: for suspicious folders or files.
And as said previously run a virus, adware and malware scan.
if the virus cannot be deleted from the drive, then copy the data from the drive by individually selecting it. And format the drive preferably through safe mode.
Restore the folder options>>View to default.
