Hi,

Yesterday my computer started acting strangely ! First all my folders' name were gone in thumbnails and then whenever i open a folder it creates a folder with the name of its root folder and an .exe extension.
Now my computer is slow and whenever i try to open Task Manager it doesn't open , same is the case with regedit !
I recently formatted my harddisk and installed a fresh OS but it still is messed up !!
I am unable to run rootrepeal and also DDS!!


UPDATED(23:43 - 17/Oct/2009):

The problem persists but there is a error whenever i start up the pc saying " Could not find scvhost.exe " -- something like that -- .
It say scvhost.exe so i know its not svchost.exe which is windows essential !!

Help would be appreciated !
Regards,
Muzammil Ahmed.
