It has been going through a "completed" folder that has stacks of different files, programs, tv shows and a lot of other crap, it says that the folder is in our documents & Settings folder but there is no folder called completed ive even done a search for it with nothing coming up.
Whats going on? where are all these files and programs coming from? The Virus scan has been going all night cleaning all this stuff. Can anyone help me find out whats going on id be very appreciative, Thanks!!

I'm wondering if perhaps the "completed" folder is a "hidden" one. You might try doing this:
Double click on "My Computer", then "Tools", then "Folder Options", Then on the "View" tab.
Check to see if there's a circle in the box that says, "Do not show hidden files and folders" . If there is, click on the circle below that where it says "Show hidden files and folders". That ought to make any hidden files and folders visible to you in Windows Explorer. Another thing you should do is to also UN-check the box below that where it says, "Hide extensions for known file types".
Hopefully the above will help you out in finding what your anti-virus program is finding. Good luck.

turn off the system restore. delete all the restore points. reboot in safemode and then click start- run- type %temp% and hit enter now click all the files and delete. after doing this perform a full system scan with ur existing antivirus. wel u havent shared what antivirus u using.. it is easier to suggest with total information. neways good luck
