    unusual folders and files in USER folder


    Hello-

    noticed something I never saw before. In my USER folder, besides the USERS I created are two unknown hidden folders

    Akvckng and VoI85C

    each has 10 files. Each has a different extension , such as txt. doc, rtf, jpeg

    example:
    dollars_desire_asked_ourselves.pem

    none will open.

    I have scanned them with BitDefender and Spybot, no issues found

    I have not deleted them , but they seem to be created at each boot up.

    So what are they? anything to worry about?

    Thanks Dan

    Try scanning the entire drive with MalwareBytes and see if it turns up anything.
