Ather your system is infected with this virus so first scan your system with latest update antivirus.whenever you plug you usb drive,it just copy new folder.exe in every drive and may be it can be that it made a folder in all folder of usb drive with the same root folder name with folder like icon.check that your folder option is not there and you are unable to show hideen files that mean your system is infected.if antivirus ll not change the situation,let me know i ll give you a manual way to remove this.
