I would suspect malware of some kind. Windows just doesn't produce spontaneous folders.

Please download and run MalwareBytes (and have it scan your whole system, not just the usual scan), and report back the results.

You can get MalwareBytes (the free version), from here:

Search for those strings often they refer to software that's been installed
