Unknown folders in the C drive

These folders are not of any harm visible to us..If they are some spy-ware programs, then it will be end in problem.As I am active in many on line sites and also I will check the accounts of my payment processors like Alert Pay and Pay-pal, these programs may collect the details about my account..Only for this reason I want to delete them.But after the deletion of the files inside the folder, they are coming back to their original location.This is causing me too sad . Because only virus programs will do like this in most of the cases.Also I scanned with AVG anti virus software once..Nothing is found in the system..Now I have decided to install another software to remove the mal ware or threat from my system if available.Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

Now I am downloading the Kasperksy anti virus software..let me scan the folders after installing the software.Thanks for the information.

Maybe, you can try scanning with the updated version of Kaspersky Lab antivirus or Quick Heal Internet Security which is being used by many now-a-days. Also, I recommend that you should do a rescue disk scan which would be more helpful in detecting viruses!!

If you found those folder inside your document. I think they are not in system32 of your operating system. Just look for another folder in program files to make sure if they are the same in format. Because there are folder also in programs that is duplicating folders...

I scanned with two anti virus software programs.But no anti virus software is identifying any virus or threat in these folders. I have even selected these two folders and scanned them.Nothing was found. But the files inside these folders seems to the files related to the system files which will be required to install the operating system(i 386)...That's why I am not able to delete them also, it seems.But these folders have been created only after few days after I formatted the system.But I am not sure of the program installed when these folders created..I used to install some applications and will uninstall them very soon..During this process, these folders might have been created..Any way thank for your response to this issue.

dude if ur safe mode is not working the first thing i will tell u that u are having a big problem . let us not panic. first i would like to know which OS u are using . if it is winXP then download the patches for that .there are 5 patches for winXP u can get them from net .they solve have the problems. the ".dll"problem is also solved by this . first do this . after all the patches are downloaded then try running in safe mode .if it still doesnt work i would strongly suggest u to format the drive in which ur OS in installed and reinstall the OS again.u must do this . as the pc is not working in safe mode there are high chances that pc is either infected with virus or ur OS is corrupted.both the cases at this stage need reinstalling of the OS .hope u get through this . ask if there is any problem .i will be there to help u

I have installed the windows xp with service pack 3 in my system.My anti virus software is AVG, and I am regularly updating it.I scanned with the AV software, and my anti virus software is not able to identify anything in that folder.Also I am not able to bring my system to the safe mode,If I try for that, then a list of missing .dll files are running and the system is restarting without starting in the safe more.Some times, a blue screen with some codes are displaying as like 'unexpected error occured'. Even then, the system is working , but slowly than normally it used to work..But this slow is negligible and it will take few minutes to start the system.After the start of the system, it is working well..Anyway, I need to delete these folders if they are harmful to the system.Thanks for your response to this issue.

you've mentioned that you're encountering a blue screen on your computer, you're probably having a problem with your memory module, cleaning the memory might solve your issue... one thing also i don't recommend using avg, i recommend avast! pro or avast! home, and also to get rid of computer lock ups and slow performance, try installing "Ccleaner" herehttp://www.filehippo.com/, some tools are also available there,

Just now I checked the properties of the folder..they have been created exactly a month back..I formatted the system,more than 2 months back..But meanwhile I have installed and removed many programs in the system and I am not sure of the date of installation of such programs.I have installed the AVG anti virus software and I am updating it regularly without fail..On the scanning, it found nothing.I scanned the two folders particularly thrice. Nothing is identified as threat in the folders.We can give the programs name or the link in mylot, if it is about some software and this is within our terms..Only thing we need to follow is that we should not place any referral link of our money making programs here to get referrals..Thanks for your response.

knrsekar ... Panda cloud and threatfire are the two programs that I have working together as my antivirus programs. And they both do a good job and have stopped a few attacks and best of all they are free. I've used AVG before and I do prefer the ones that I have now over that one. I'm not saying anything at all bad about AVG, it is good as well, but it seems that Windows load up happens faster and that data is transferred a little quicker. For a firewall, I use PCTools Firewall plus. I like it better than Zone Alarm as I had more control over the program, but Zone Alarm isn't bad. I always have liked superantispyware the best of the ones that I have used. I hope that you get your problem taken care of very soon.

I have shut down the system many times for various reasons. When the system is hanging for a long time, I used to shut down forcibly many times..If the folders are like just the log files, then there will not be any problem and we can leave them as such..But it should be confirmed..My only expectation is that there should not be any spyware programs inside the computer..I have installed the anti virus software and also I am regularly updating them.My AV is not identifying anything..Now I am going to install some other anti virus software and after scanning, if nothing is identified, I need to format the system soon..I don't like to take risk in this issue.Thanks for your response.

You know scandisk and chkdisk? Maybee it will solve the problem if you don't own a Tune-up Utilities. -pAw

I used to install many software in my system and then I will uninstall them very soon. But at present, I don't have any additional software in my system than normally I have. If we try to move or delete some files inside the folder, some of the files are getting deleted..But after few seconds, they are back again to their original location. Some of the files inside the folders are not able to be deleted and I am getting the access denied error message.I suspect these are the files or folders responsible for the malfunction of my system nowadays. I am sure, that these folders are available only in the recent days. I scanned with AVG anti virus software and I am not able to find anything as virus or threat..If this is some spyware program, then it should be removed immediately..Thanks for your response to my problem.

Yes.. I have tired in many ways..I am not able to delete yet.. I think the final option is to reinstall the operating system itself.Everyday we have to struggle with the virus programs..Each one is of different kind..Torturing me too much..Thanks for your response.

IF it is a system files, then they should be available in the other system also with the similar name?.But the case is not like so..Even this site don't have these folders earlier..There is no any executable files in the folders and I checked them with interest.As like some of the members are saying, they may be some temp files. If so, I will be happy and will not bother about them..As I am the active member of many on line sites, I don't like my account details to be collected bu the spyware programs, if available inside these folders.Thanks for your response.

I am not able to run the system in the safe more. If I try to run it in the safe more,is showing some .dll files are missing (about 30-40 fiels) in a list and then after the running of the list, the system is restarting in the normal more instead of starting in the safe mode.I have scanned with the AVG anti virus software and no threat is found. I have also tried with the command prompt and some of the files seems to be hidden some other wrote protected.NOt able to delete them here also..Anyway, I will try to the best of my level.Thanks for your response .

Some time,it may be an important file.But with this name, I am not having any folder in my other system.The second system is also having the same type of configuration and applications installed.There these folders are not available.While deleting them, only few files are moving from the folder and within few minutes, the are restoring its position again..I am not able to tolerate the activity of files..Hope I will delete them very soon, if they are threats.Thanks for sharing your view with the members.

Installer files means with extension of .exe, is it not? If so, I am not able to find any exe files in that..Most of them are .dll files and some .gpd or .ppd .Only of the .dll files is not able to be deleted form the folder, if we try to delete them one by one.Also we tried to delete them in command prompt also.We are not able to delete them.Some of the files in the folders are getting deleted..But within few seconds, they are rolling back and the folder is filled with all the files again.The Cleaner itself will remove them if they are temporary files or folders..Its also not deleting them and also the AVG anti virus software is not finding any virus in these folders.As these folders are recently formed, I suspect that they are the Internet threats. I am not able to do anything peacefully in my system, as if these are some spyware programs..I have to study well about this.Thanks for your response.

I used to delete the temp files using CCleaner regularly and I will do the cleaning process at least twice in a day without fail as I am active in some traffic exchange sites..Even after such deletion, it is still there. But I am not able to run my system in normal mode also.If I start the system in the normal more, then some list of missing files are running and then the system is restarting itself as normal.I tried to start in the safe more many times..But I was not able to start it even a single time and this happened soon after the installation of OS. My OS might have corrupted already and hence some of the files have not installed properly it seems. I have to reformat the system again..These folders may the source for the prevention of computer in the safe more also..Let me try to delete them again.Thanks for your response.
