    there is a hidden folder in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. I found it when I was searching for something else. It's just labeled with a '

    It had over 1,000 zip files in it (which I have deleted once, then they popped back up again) Each zip files has a name like a movie or program or other random things. Each one also contains a setup.exe file.

    I also have a setup.exe hidden in the font folder.

    I hope I am explaining this clearly :eek:

    I thought the fonts folder was only suppose to contain fonts......

    Please any help/thoughts/tips thank you :)

    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
