Iyt is not an indication of a virus. It is an indication of being hacked. Find the EXACT name of each folder in the folder tree and working your way from the last to the first use rm to remove the folders. The trouble is "leading spaces."

Assuming that you want to delete the whole thing, open a command prompt
(Start > Run > cmd.exe) and type "RD /s C:\temp_old". That will take care
of the problem in most cases.
