Recently I have tried the USB Secure program with 3 trials, after the 3 trials, however, I had to uninstall it. The program had left a data folder named Thumbs.bd, not the normal Thumbs.db you would find in some folders.
In fact, Thumbs.bd is a folder, containing the files Fax, which is a 0 byte file with nothing else special about it. Also a file named Microsoft XPS Document Writer, also a 0 byte file.
When I try to delete Thumbs.bd, (Which is roughly a 200KB folder/file whatever) Windows 7 says that it is no longer there, meaning my OS thinks that it is somewhere else or doesn't exist at all...
I further investigated, and tried FileASSASSIN which comes with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware to delete this "Thumbs.bd", but then it gives me an error which states that it needs permission from the owner of the files. Not only that, but when I go to the properties of Thumbs.bd, it states that it is a file folder with the extension bd (?). The Hidden option is grey, so I can't do anything about that, but apparently it contains 4 files and 1 folder??? It won't let me change anything else, however I may deselect the Read-only option, which is currently only applied to files within the folder. When I click Apply, an error seems to have occurred, stating that the file "\con.{...}..." Windows cannot find the file specified...
Seriously WTF? How do I get rid of this? Please don't make me format 300 GB of data in my mobile drive...
THINGS THAT I KNOW:
- Thumbs.** are created for USB Secure in order to temporarily move all my files into a secure area, which is a hidden Thumbs.** folder.
- Thumbs.ms was created when I tried USB Secure for the trial.
- I can only select "General" or "Previous Versions" in the properties of Thumbs.bd.
Another thing, is it possible for ME to make folders with extensions that will also work on other computers? Thanks for all your support.
