Thanks Ken, I couldn't find anything were I can turn this "off". So what antivirus do you use?

Sorry mate, but I was only thinking out aloud. I do appreciate any help I can get, if you can help. Sorry if I offended you, it wasn't intentional. Regards

No worries, I posted another attachment of the search of the HIDDEN Files and Folders and those same ZIPPED folders came up. I'm non-the-wiser now! I thought this forum was a Acer PC forum. I might as well take it to Acer and see if they got an answer, and if I take it to my antivirus spt, I will go on a set merry-go-round that leads nowhere. Thanks.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]621.vB5-legacyid=1309[/ATTACH] I'm using Win Xp and went into Control Panel and Folders and was unsure of what do when I got there. But, I realised that I could get the same information through: click Start, click Search, click All files and folders, and then click More advanced options. Click to select the Search system folders and Search hidden files and folders check boxes. I've attached the SEARCH results and those ZIPPED ACER-PC folders were listed.

Nah, I just noticed these zipped folders when I browsing the Local Drive C folder, and this time I noticed that another four folder had been added. I was going to delete the lot, as there appears to be no reason for this folder at all. They date of creation is all different dates, and I have no idea of any action taken, but I did open a notebook type file, which contains long lines of functions, and it does make a mention to my Trend security programme. By viewing the contents of that Notebook file would you get any idea what in the world is in all about? Thanks

For no apparent reason these Zipped Folder began to appear on the Local Drive "C". Has anyone have any idea how they came to appear and what in the world are they for. Can I delete them? They just keep on appearing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]620.vB5-legacyid=1308[/ATTACH]
