Why is my USB drive creating "duplicate files"?

[HeidiKleynhans78]

My flash drive seems to create "duplicates" of all my files, although they are just little yellow folders when you view the drive and when I click on it, I can see that it is the file name + .exe - eg. filename.jpg.exe.
I can delete them all, which takes forever, but low and behold, the next time I use the drive (which is daily), it's back again...
Strangely enough, the files all read - DATE MODIFIED - 2007/08/08, the TYPE of file : Application and the SIZE is 1 691KB.
What is (doing) this? And how can I remove it once and for all?

Its not the USB drive but your operating system creating duplicate files. There must be some virus in your OS.
Try using a different PC. First format the drive before using it. Then see if the same happens again. If not then you probably need to remove the virus with an antivirus program.
