Seems like you have an infected drive. Try to run an AVG scan through it and let it remove it. Or use Tech Support's Flash Disinfector: http://www.precisesecurity.com/tools-resources/adware-tools/flash-disinfector/

Definitely a virus; on the same site (second link in google if you copy/paste that exact error message):

Flash drive virus basically. Rather evil if you ask me, but I guess they have to get them from pc to pc somehow since we stopped using floppys.
