oh man. back in school we made a lot of dumb shit like this. friend got a box of 128mb usb sticks with erroneous branding and we put autorun ‘viruses’ that just spammed popups, opened the cd drive, played weird sounds, etc.
same day as we left them in various places in the school there was an announcement not to use “fake usb sticks” found in the building because they have viruses

It’s a good warning (you hope). You clearly grabbed shady software. If you’re lucky it’s not malicious, this time.
