Possible malware n33d h3lp -_-

So I inserted my usb in a windows xp (pir ated of course) and it turned all the files' names into sime gibberish, some greek letters and other weird shapes, so I think this probably a malware or ransomware or whatever the name is, or maybe it's because I take the usb out of pc without unmount it (probably not but who knows, not me for sure, I'm a noob), well, the windows was in a virtual machine so no other file is affected, plus, I have Linux as main OS so I don't know if it could do something. The thing is, I can't format, open, or rename anything, the names appears only in terminal btw. I need a solution please, one more thing: the informations in the usb aren't important so any solution is welcomed.
