.exe files with folder icon and name are created automatically

[abyssal]

Hello. I've started to have a problem with my PC. It automatically creates .exe files that are named by the folder they are into (e.g. Desktop.exe) for the folder that's created on desktop. When I try to open it sends me to Libraries folder and also pops some message that requires me administrator privileges.

Windows 7 Professional x64.

Any clues about this ?

Sounds like you have a case of nasty malware. Run your anti-malware tools.

Yes. That's 100% a malware infection. I was attacked by that when I was a kid, lol.

Do full system scan with a good anti virus and Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

Eventually, you'll need to reinstall Windows since cleaning these kinds of infections completely is quite difficult. It already seems it has done a lot to your system.

Ok. I just installed norton antivirus and did a full system scan. Apparently it removed all of those. Thanks for help
