    Illusory Folders Out of the Blue plz help
    « on: May 16, 2008, 04:42:57 AM »
    Hi there,

    Thanx for your effort to help poor people like me 8)

    I've got the following problem:

    I've Vista and a brand new laptop which is protected by authentic norton anti-virus and I run automatic Windows update. (I am highly protective girl) However i ve got a virus from a flash memory. Now my Windows is creating illusory folders out of the blue ( i dunno if it is properly stated)  :(. These folders such as( recycle.bin, system volume info and some repeated folders) are empty and most are shortcuts. Some are said to be dat files, thumbs and desktop.ini (system files) and their deletion can harm my computer. But once i delete them they are back again. >:( They are on drivers and documents. I run a full scan but it seems Norton unable to see them and state that my computor is secured. ???

    Sorry for  this prolonged post. I am in great need for your help. :'(

    Thanx in advance

      Hi and welcome. ;D  You should probably be in the Virus and Spyware section, but wait until someone named Broni, Patio or another Mentorr type drops by.
