Flash Drive With Cryptic names
Hi
I am checking a flash drive where some of the files and folders have strange names composing of characters and letters. These are not the original name. While I cannot access or copy the files on the root of the drive, I can drill down into some of the folders - the ones with complete proper names and access and copy the files and folders within those.
I have scanned with eset and malwarebytes with no infection. Attempts to access the properties page of change the name is met with messages indicating limitations on that access.
Examples of some of the folder names resemble:
K┘
ᶧ - with a long tail
C┘

Any assistance will be appreciated.
