OK heres the deal, I have a hidden folder I came across in C:\windows\myshares The folder contains 100 of exe files, all are the same size and cover everything from norton to sex acts. I deleted the folder and its contents which seem to work ........ until I reboot and some how it comes back. The longer I wait to look in it the more things appear. It's almost like some one is uploading the crap and I don't know it.

Firewall shows no intrusions.

Anyone have any idea?

Have you scanned for viruses, spyware and trojans?

Are you using a file sharing program like Kazaa?

What version of Windows?

Ye, I was using winmx but I uninstalled it and deleted all the files mentioned above, Installed gnucleus now it's starting again.

You My Nortons did start acting odd when all this started.

I just went to housecall and scanned it from there it found

"worm purol.a"
"worm winur.c"

It says it's non-cleanable ????? can this be?
