I discovered a removed document on my new Kingston USB drive.
I just got my new Kingston G4 32GB USB and immediately opened Recuve. I checked for deleted files or viruses, wondering if it was factory-approved—maybe fixed after someone sent it from warranty. I found a suspicious file named [ReadyBoostPerfTest.tmp] here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ln1qxfrar6xids...t.tmp?dl=0
It's a windows thing. It's very possible it was created when you plugged the flash drive in, then deleted because it didn't need it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost
It's a feature windows uses for faster transfers, not malicious software.
Windows runs a brief check to determine USB speed; if insufficient, the device can't be used with ReadyBoost.
