What is this 'crap'?

This stuff never used to appear in my folders and now it's in all my pictures and music folders...where did it come from?
Do any of you also have these now?

I have them too.

Did you install Mediaplayer 11?

 

I've been here and I followed that stupid link that got deleted in the Lounge, but I ran every security program I have and several online scanners. All that was found was 'popcap loader.dll'...from MSN games.

 

Midi files of Guns 'n' Roses, Genesis, Cat Stevens is my guess on the first 3. Someone been d/l-ing music/vids on your PC?

Have no idea on the last one

 

Those midis are like 7 months old. They were legit free files.

 

This guy had the same stuff......

Ohhhh...you mean the watermarks! Why didn't you say...thought you meant the files themselves!

 

LOL! Are you calling my music 'crap', Lev?

 

Not at all! That's why I was confused...I like Guns 'n' Roses

 

I have the watermarks

I think they came when I installed Mediaplayer 11. Thats why I asked.

 

Well, maybe they're just a 'windows' thing...but I better not find out they're some sort of Microsoft spyware or I'll forget Vista and get a MAC!

 

Do you also have this in your 'My Documents' folder BirdBath?
