Folders are Read Only.. Maybe Cant change or delete!

Hey everyone, Im having wierd issues with my comuter and let me start
by saying this is a pretty clean install, I formatted and reinstalled
on my 2 hardrives and they are both having this problem.

ONE day my computer decided that all my folders would be read-only, not
sure what day but this is a recent problem, and well Im not even sure
its really ready only, you see they have a green square where the
checkmark should be, not a checkmark.. I can take this off and apply
but then if I look again its still there.

WORSE Ive been able to delete a few problem folders, which contain
nothing but images from a zip archive I downloaded from Blizzard
software, however some days later I see the folders are back and all
their contents are there again, sometimes I delete it then empty the
trash and it magically appears back in the folder as I press the empty
button, well sometimes it "works" and they are gone sometimes not, I
wouldnt be surprised if in 1 or 2 days I see them back.

Let me also say this is happening on every single folder on my
computer, not the files however, but I am having that reappearign
folder/files issue as well, uhhh this a pain.

Anyway here is 2 pics of what I mean by the green box instead of the
checkmark:

Im not sure whats going on, I have a legit copy of windows so Im not
scared to do anything like call them or whatever but I dont think they
will help.

I also feel like getting those harddrives and stomping on them and
getting rid of the problem that way, its increasnigly frustrating since
this is already the 2nd time I have reinstalled windows due to it
sucking.
