I have tried to create a bootable usb but something nifty is going on while doing it as I found 1 odd file that shouldn't be there. I did the command bootsect /nt60 [drive letter] /force to make my usb bootable but after I run the command it creates a file called wmxxxxx.exe (the x'es are random 5 digit number). I scanned it using virustotal and it came up with a virus like Win32:Malware-gen, Win32/Kolabc.worm.188416, Win32/ASuspect.AQLE, Trojan.Dropper/Gen. I have scanned bootsect.exe but it is the genuine one and is free of any viruses. However once I format my usb it never appears and it has never appeared on this usb before ever until I ran bootsect. I wonder what could be causing the problem as it really look suspicious and I am very tempted to go further.

EDIT:

The virus keep appearing even if I delete it and sometimes it says it is in use by 'System' and this is really getting scary. I opened up task manager but nothing suspicious is running.
