Sounds like you have a virus. Malwarebytes, get.

No its more like a virus on the pc, not the external.

ok ty i will try but its on 2 pcs so both of them had viruses?

Oh well, idk. If you plugged the Internal into 1 pc, it could have spread into it and into the other pc too.

Would help to know OS, external drive manufacturer, and if you could give a brief list of what processes are currently running, would go a long way to getting the problem sorted out for you.

I had this same error some time ago on a Seagate external, the issue in that case turned out to be a faulty housing (actually wasn't the housing but the electronics inside it). Your case may be different, as Hero stated you should not really see Taskmanager and Regedit blocked though.

You probably spread the virus onto both external hard drives, both of your computers and your friend's computer.
