i have noticed some folder names in my C drive appeared in blue fonts, is this normal ?? i haven't changed any setting, is there a virus ? also, when i attempted to open one particular folder, it opened to display the content but 0.5s later it closed down autimatically and performs a mini reboot. Hav tried scanning with McAfee, Ad-aware, didn't pick up anything suspicious.
thank you in advance for your input.
 
Hi,

These are encrypted or compressed NTFS files on your system. They are blue in colour due to the settings in Explorer "Show encrpyted or compressed NTFS files in color"

Just to be more accurate.

Blue are compresed (only)
Green are encrypted

Hi

Blue are compressed files. Green files are encrypted.
