Question
I was looking through "My Documents" folder and found the folder name: ³Ø½¼ Ç÷¯±×. I scanned it with AVG and no virus's were found. Then I ran adaware and nothing was found on my computer except for some cookies.

Should I be worried about this? Im in my "My Documents" almost everyday because I do a lot of homework and this is the first time I ever noticed this.

I am running WinXp on a ASUS A8 series laptop. The only new thing I have downloaded was a game at www.kartrider.com.

Hi Jeremy,

Even though you scanned with AVG, try this - using Internet Explorer, go to:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/  and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

Hope this helps!
