Alright, deleting them. If my laptop forgets itself over though, I'll be a sad little boy. :( Wait, just noticed it can't hurt to delete them. They don't have "microsoft corporation" stamped all over them. Not even a signature. It must be foreign. Edit: BAM, AND THE DIRT IS GONE! Going to do a cold boot now and see if anythings new. |
| Caution:
I've never even heard of AVAST. My dad buys yearly subscriptions to AVG, and downloaded WindowsCare V2 and SB:S&D. I run WC every night because it won't auto-scan, and AVG runs automatically late at night. I run SB about every week. I'm starting to think my sister got a virus on mine again, it's a fake security system. It says you have a bunch of infected things on your desktop but it's a phony program. You have to buy it to fix it, so it says, but it is really just a virus. Plus, AVG notifies you with Google when a site is unsafe, and alerts you before every install or any internet connection outside of Firefox or Internet Explorer. It's nice to know if you're downloading something without even knowing it. |

The cold boot is done. I just checked RunAlyzer, they're back... No doubt in my mind it's a virus now. I think I know why, I forgot to delete them out of another directory, causing them to just copy over because it seems to have dug itself into the start-up directories. I've cleared every mention of it on my entire system. 1 more cold boot. |

Keep us informed. Run a lot of scans, and check hidden files. |

Lingo check: What's a cold boot? |
