Newbie Needs Help Here

The c drive had a black box only the shared folder is red. Just a thought but it seems like it keeps up maybe something I downloaded is multiplying. I don't know, but I did adware scans and virus scans and I don't know what else to do.

you have hidden files in your shared folder
tools>folder options>view> here check the box for ?show hidden files?then uncheck the box that
says ?hide protected operating system files (recommended)
bottom line: its normall nothing to worry about

These invisible files are almost always caused by either viruses or Win XP's picture thumbnails. If you disabled the Win XP's thumbnails feature... you're left with the problem likely being viruses...
