    Hello guys recently my 64gb samsung micro sd card has started getting strange unknown file names in the root folder. The file names are .__pdvk.sys, .__pfrk.sys, .__psek.sys, .__puuk.sys and .__ppsk.sys.

    .__pdvk.sys contains the following text in it.
    QPPOt9SPY0ZFKi0/HYCLpy9ebgSHRjpfn4D7suo+yhWr5UOMq1WAEVKe70ZzNq7YBV4dIOBI5iASkuz5ExkkRg51XySax9+W00yvOzuemBya5XGG2f3KH1K6oHTowAkT

    Even after deleting, they keeping coming back after sometime. Is this malware ?

    But the memory card works fine. I have even tried formatting the card.

    Has anyone come across a similar situation ?

    Kindly advise on how to get rid of this issue.

    Thank you.

    Windows driver software program that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or connected devices, is not a virus.

    Thanx buddy..

    You mean when connecting my mobile to pc, these files could have been created ?. These files appear suddenly in my mobile even when I haven't connected my phone to the pc.

    This does in no way sound normal. @_@

    What kind of smartphone does create such files on a sd card ? I have never ever heard of such files...so I googled these.. x'D
