Hi this looks like an infection by Malware of some description. "A squared" is a good cleaner,very thorough. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free... It takes time, but is very efficient at cleaning all c**p out

Answer 2

This sounds like you either have a virus or a problem with Windows Explorer.  Try scanning for viruses; if you can't find any, I would recommend backing up your hard drive and doing a complete factory restore (to out-of-box state).  This may take a long time, but it should solve your problem as this is definitely a software problem (not a hardware problem).

Answer 3

Possibly a virus, scan your PC.

I had a virus that did that once.

Answer 4

im not sure how to fix it, but it could be a corrupt program or a virus causing it
