Much more info is needed...
What version of Windows is this?
What protection do you have?
When was the last time you scanned in Safe Mode?
How does the folder duplicate?  Where does it go?  Does it contain all of the same files?

Is this the same machine that had the other issues ? ?
No right clik functions etc. ? ?
If so i would suggest a format and clean install of XP.

I apologize, your post seems to have been overlooked somehow.  It can be a bit busy here, as we're understaffed in this section and have a fair amount of people coming in with problems.

If you're still having problems, update your AVG and scan with it in Safe Mode.  Once you've done that, download HijackThis and post a log here.
