my problem is that many of the folders on my computer are automatically creating exe files with the same folder name within themselves. I was just wondering if this was a virus or spyware and if there is anything I can do?
sounds like a virus to me...what av do you have? do a scan right away, also try an online scan here http://housecall.trendmicro.com/, what folders/how many do this? i would be freaking out if this was happening to me...definately get the scans done so you can be sure there not virus's.
i am using Kaspersky antivirus and have not found any viruses. i have also scanned for spyware using spybot and have not found any.
since you can't find anything with scanning, do this Download HijackThis.zip to the desktop from here. Create a folder in C:\ named HjT. Extract HijackThis.exe to the new folder. Open HijackThis and click "Do a system scan and save a log file". Post that log in your next reply.
