I am fixing a friend's DELL. I have installed WXP PRO SP2, and am
installing various applications, and I have noticed many folders have
picked up some different program names that I don't recognize and that
Google doesn't either. For example - pfuksfmt.t and myvsvbrf.t.
There are many. All seem to end with .t.

Anyone now what these are?

Thanks

Jethro
 
Sounds like a virus or malware infested computer. I would run a full virus
scan and malware scan.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Include scanning with either Sysclean or Multi_AV, plus AVG Anti-Spyware
(formerly Ewido - http://www.ewido.net/en/) and follow instructions to
do all scans in Safe Mode.

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at
removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested
that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all your data backed
up before you take the machine into a shop.
