Hello,

I have several folders under Program Files which have
mysteriously appeared. They are:

As you can imagine, this is very worrying. The sheer
number of these folders and the names suggest some sort
of malware is taking over my PC. I have run Ad-Aware with
the latest virus definitions but it detected nothing.

There is also a mysearch toolbar on IE which I cannot
seem to get rid of - is this related?

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Darren

I think you are confused - Antivirus software has virus definitions,
AdAware has spyware definition references - you need both, in addition
to a firewall to protect yourself from the evils of today's internet.
