1346746 2013-06-23 22:51:00 Mate has sent me this, I do not understand, is there anybody that sees the problem.?

"My problem is that having downloaded pics to the USB stick I can no longer remove them from the computer - when I go to delete the computer makes another copy!"

1346747 2013-06-23 23:16:00 Is he pressing the delete key or right mousing on the file?? Sounds like a computer prob not a USB prob. Or user error / prob Speedy Gonzales (78)

1346749 2013-06-24 01:44:00 Do you think it might be malware.? Cicero (40)
1346750 2013-06-24 03:35:00 Scan it for malware. Looks like programs (there's one called second copy) can copy files instead of deleting them. Did he install any programs recently?? If he did, what programs? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1346751 2013-06-24 05:04:00 'Downloaded Sybot S&D and did a complete scan of the computer - it found nothing, and the problem continues!'
