Hi, it's kinda wierd, but it's about 2 days that I noticed any new folder that I open in my PC, a file called "folder.htt" copies itself into there. Even when I delete it, it copies itself again in my next visit to that directory!!
I searched the whole computer and I fould hundreds of them everywhere. It doesn't seem to be dangerous, but I don't like it! Does anyone know anything about this?

You have a virus called... windows :D
I suppose that you have web folders activated, and then windows creates a folder.htt file for every folder

You may want to hide them...if possible. In Windows Explorer, go to...

* TOOLS
* FOLDER OPTIONS
* VIEW (tab)
* check the "Do not show hidden files and folders" radio button under "Hidden files and folders"
* APPLY and OK
