My Passport Shortcut Icon

Hi, I would like to ask on how to solve this issue on my My Passport Ultra 1TB HD,  When i Plug it on a PC, My Files are Hidden on a different Location and The Only thing on my HD is a Shortcut File to my Files and a Autorun… I’m wondering if there’s a risk of data corruption or something if i just ignore this issue? I’ll attach a Screenshot… Hoping for a decent Reply, Thanks!

Hi,

I experienced something similar a few weeks ago on a different drive and it was a virus that I got from a different computer.

Try running a good anti virus or anti malware.
