I think my computer has a virus or something, because all of my picture folders have two hidden files that say something like "hpboth07" and they're the same as a picture in the folder, but I didn't do that... so I don't know how they get there and it's really annoying. It might have something to do with the HP photo program, but I have no idea. Anyone know?

I do not know what it is, but I hasten to guess that HP has installed it as part of the program to help you enhance editing functions.
All I can say is if this does not slowdown your computer or do any major harm, if I were you, I will leave it alone but keep monitoring.
Alternatively, you can delete it. It has not gone anywhere, it just sits in your recycle bin. Soon after you deleted the file, try working with your folder. If it causes problem with your work, then it is a required genuine program. Just go back to the recycle bin and restore it.
