Malware on my external drive converted .eml files into .js files. I’ve unplugged the drive.

How can I safely check if the malware is still active in my external drive and if more files were affected ?

i believe there's an option in windows to disable plug-and-play so start by disabling that if it isn't already is this an application that you need that you installed on this drive? are you able to just plug in the drive without actually running anything? if you can just run a windows defender full scan and you'll be fine

Use a old PC or Phone for test. And copy the files if u can do , after the copying you can test them in a VM or just test them directly in a old device ıdk
