I have not idea what this is at all. I've been searching my computer and cleaning out unnecessary files in all of my folders when i discovered that a folder i don't really use that much has 25 gigs worth of information. What's odd is i open up the folder, and there is a bunch of different files with odd characters and symbols. What's even more weird is the fact that if i right click on it and check properties, it says zero file size. When i click on the folder that contains these files, it says it's 25 gigs worth of information. The folder is in c:\documents and settings\"my name"\Recent folder. I'm thinking about running a scan disk to see what the problem is, but i'd like to know if it's some kind of a virus or something. Thanks.
