Apparently, in many of the songs I’ve moved to the Fuze, there is a duplicate listing with identical song names preceded by a dot and an underscore. It looks like this: ._
They don’t show up on my computer, only on the Fuze listing. So I can’t delete them (in MTP or MSC).
Is there any way to make these appear on my PC “My Computer” so i can delete them en masse, and not one by one (one minute each) or completely reformat? There are hundreds of them and they are always first in my songlist.

IT does not sound like a virus to me, but rather a Tag Issue. Have you checked the Tags of the files that have this issue.
The >> ._ << files apparently don’t take up any space and don’t play. However, when I click on “play all,” the Fuze sequences through the list one song at a time, and spends about two seconds on each before going on to the next one, and so on through to the first “real” song.
Virus? AVG is up to date and nothing noticeable is affecting the PC.
I think i know what they are, but can I do that in … well, what’s the easiest way to see them? I don’t have any of the outboard programs (besides WM11, which is a C+ max in helpfulness). I’ve never worked with tags before.
"Is the ._ files is playable in your fuze like common music files? I think your computer is being infected by a virus and that’s what the virus done. "
Please don’t call itunes a virus. Itunes seems to create these extra files. I have no idea why.
The ._ files are “rabbit droppings” left upon connection to one of those evil alien Apple computers. Some Apple users may know of the details…it has to do with the finder?
