Possible Virus

How do I stop a possible virus? Everything we plug an external drive into any USB port a popup shows asking to upload pictures, etc. it says "keep your memories safe", Top left says camera update.

This is nothing I have seen before, and does not show up on other machines when same external drives are attached.

None of the external drives have a backup program on them.

I have scanned with Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes and of course Defender (which is running) with no results.

How do I stop this?
