Hello Everyone!

I need some help..
I connected my phone for charging. After that a new drive appeared named "System Reserved (D: )"with 463 MB free of 499 MB and the drive is empty, no folders. I restarted and run window defender. But no virus was detected and and the drive still there. IS IT VIRUS bcoz i think my mobile may have virus in it. How to make it disappear ?

If someone could help i shall be VERY THANKFUL..

You can get a charging-only cable, which doesn't include the D+ & D- cable streams. Or you can get a charger.

From Android 6.0 onwards File transfer is disabled by default when a cable is connected to the device, mainly due to malicious USB hubs which pretend to be normal charging ports, but instead copy data from your device whilst charging.

Is this Win 10?
Did the system recently update to the 1803 release?

If so, remove that drive letter, here: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/153261-fix-windows-10-1803-update-new-full-drive-creation
