I think my computer is infected somehow. Yesterday, I was in my program files and noticed inside of a folder, There was a folder with a bunch of Z's as the name.

It started reproducing other identical folders within that folder. As soon as I would delete some, more would pop up. I attempted to delete the main folder but it was locked. I kept attempting to unlock it and then it vanished.

I went and downloaded malwarebytes, Did a scan, One infected malware file came up. It was removed and I ran the scan twice more, along with AVG free 9.0, and SuperAnit Spyware and all reads clean.

Today my browsers for IE and FireFox refuse to retain my homepages. I've checked into the settings and went as far as deleting and re-downloading with no fix.

I then downloaded the spyware doctor 2010 and received clean results. I just know something is wrong though? Any help from the knowledgeable? Thank You.

Scan your system with Avast free & reginout to see for errors. They will fix it for you.

If you think somethings wrong, do a system re set. LOL i forgot what they call it >_<.

Run diff virus programs and see what it pops up. This is all i can say, good luck :)

if the antivirus cant solve the problem, just reformat your computer but saved important files first..
