I am not sure if this is an issue with Win7, or if it is some sort of virus that has slipped onto my PC.

For about a few months now, my D Drive (A 1 TB HDD) has been creating empty folders with names that look like someone just smacked the keyboard. They do not take up any physical space on the drive, but they do make scrolling through my D Drive an absolute pain. when i delete them, or some of the, they come back within a few days.
This does not occur inside any of my pre-existing D Drive folders, only in the entire D: Directory. This also does not happen on my C Drive (250 GB SSD)

I am not sure what is causing this, so if anyone could help, it would be appreciated.
