Hi,
I noticed this after cleaning a USB flash drive.
Mysterious files suddenly appeared in my hard drives, just outside of the folders.
svchost.exe
Pagefile.sys, others - protected, cannot delete!
RECYCLER folder - protected, cannot delete!
System Vol.INfo folder - protected, cannot delete!
I noticed them when I browsed my internal drives. They are exactly duplicated on each of my four internal drives, just outside the directories. The svchost.exe file has a monkey icon and the Pagefile.sys is unknown icon. Also I noticed a new RECYCLER and System Vol.INfo folders.
I ran a full scan but ESET cannot seem to recognize them.
I have manually deleted the svchost file but the pagefile seems protected. I cannot also delete the RECYCLER and System Vol.INfo folders. It's giving me an Access denied message. I even tried on Safemode but no success.
Right now, I think it's messing up my sound. I have all drivers installed properly, i can see in hardware but still no device is showing up.
I'm pretty sure it's in my system and can do bigger damage.
I need your advice.
Thank you.
