Hello kevindorward,

If MalwareBytes deleted something from your external drive, you might want to make a post in the malware removal forum - you can start by following the instructions here - http://www.geekstogo...cleaning-guide/

I see you are getting assistance for this problem here: External hd recycler problem.

I also think you still have more malware on the computer so please follow directions given at techguy.org. If no help, come back here and post in our malware forum: Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal. Read the first pinned post to start.
