Have you run a full scan using Windows Defender?

Can you confirm that the worm is actually running?

AV software may remove the installed worm from the system, but not from the drive.

Probably a good idea to reformat the USB drive

PS. if all else fails, nuke and pave (reinstall the computers in your household, including your linux machine)

You should do this offline, as in, quarantine the situation.

That would be a valid option, but only if there are no windows dependencies and the primary user agrees to the change.

With all the Win11 spam in Win10, my grandmother decided to try Linux. She is now a 90-year-old Linux user. Her use case is YouTube and email, and I have to support the system (I had to do that for the win10 system as well).

Or an update where they delete all your files again.

These both happened to me. I was already looking into switching to Linux in 2020, and the last update did it for me. Have been only been using Linux at home ever since.
