However, fixing that mess improved my said system noticeably. I need to have it functional for a few more days until I can back up my stuff. The only spyware (aside from cookies) was a single instance of some "Alexa related" program. Thanks for all. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20234811 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:16:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20230436 poppster : A quick google search didn't yeild me any results, so you might want to do the following, just to be safe.

What else, I do not know yet. Copying is done by explorer (simply drag & drop). ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20228885 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:07:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20227088 Cudni : assuming you are sure you comp is malware free, is the folder created when you start copying files or...?
you can use filemon to establish what might be creating it
»technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi···642.aspx

are you using particular software to copy?

Any idea on what is causing/making this?

TIA
