Or maybe it has a lot o money in crypto inside :D, who knows is like download a song from internet virus are everywhere.
just thinking but is really important to do not open anything inside this usb and always be carefull with all devices and files you didn't know.

I would most definitely search the USB Stick, if even just to find the owner, as there are often important things on them. A backup copy of all my wallets resides on a USB of mine.

What you wanna do to be as safe as you can, aside from using a good malware cleaner, is to ensure to open the stick within a Virtual Machine, like Sandboxy, Oracle VirtualBox, Etc.
