    Got a problem with something on my pc which is adding large numbers of image files to my Progrm Files folder which are not large in themselves 4kb to about 300kb each), but I recently cleared over 2000 of them! obviously it's slowing down my system, but I can't find where they're coming from. A typical name is IMAGE79 129x99, they're mainly SPJ (??) files with the occasional BIN. I cleared a load out of the folder but it seemed to repopulate when I did a restart from shut down. Anyone got any idea what's causing them?
    Also, in my Windows folder there's a file called jknradee which is a system file of 1kb. It's been there since 2007 but I've not noticed it before - anyone any idea what this is?

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
