Strange entries in USB pop-up box


Recommended Posts


Hi,


I am running the latest XP and noticed some strange issues when I plug in any USB device.

When XP locates a new device a box pops up (As it should) and asks how you want to handle the device.


As of a few weeks ago there are strange entries at the top of the list. Unreadable characters and symbols.


No virus, No Malware, No other issues. I will try to include a screen shot for you to see


I would appreciate help on fixing this problem as there are underlying errors causing this


I have all ready tried checking for corrupted system files.

Start/Run/CMD Then SFC/SCANNOW using the windows install disk / No errors


I do not want to do a reinstall
