it might just be a bug, but just in case, be sure to use he newest versions of anti-virus software and scan again. If nothing changes, try to find a new folder or similar which has been recently installed on your computer, but is not familiar to you.

No, you dont have a virus, you have something much worse called remote access or even remote control. That is, a hacker has complete or nearly complete control over your computer. Your computer is probably a zombie and used for illegal activity, operated by someone else, in another location. Shut your computer off, unplug it, then reload your operating system. This time, dont let it happen again by installing a secure open source operating system (Non Microsoft) like kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org
