Some time ago (maybe a month or more) my computer was infected with a Trojan which i removed with the free version of Malware bytes, a few days later i noticed files that had seemingly appeared overnight on my computer. I'm not sure if the Trojan had anything to do with it but that's the only thing i could think of that could have caused this.
Most of the files which are appearing are notepad files all named "desktop" and inside is a lot of words/numbers which don't make much sense to me, the other type of files which have been appearing are JPEG images. The icons for these files are a lighter shade as if I've "cut" them and mostly appear in my music files.
Here's a link to a screen shot i took:

[.ShellClassInfo]
FolderType=MusicAlbum

some details about my computer:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory (RAM): 4.00GB
system type: 32-bit Operating System
Some possibly useful information: A friend brought around a memory stick containing some files on it, when we viewed it through my computer lots of these mystery files appeared. My friend told me that he saw none of these files on his computer and they only seemed to be visible when viewing through my computer.
Any help / ideas about what i can do to remove / hide these files would be appreciated!
