Pending: Thumbnail view in Explorer

hello · 02-04-2007

Hello..

I've been recently cutting up tilesets, and saving them in a big folder, so this would mean i had alot of files in this folder, after i did this, i went to my folder called "shots". i usally view it with "Thumbnail view" on, anyway, it showed the thumbnails ok, but then the text of the filenames didn't show. then i went back to my C:/, and the same thing happened. when i went back to my old folder, i copied all my files from shots, and made a new folder with the same files, it was okay, but when i renamed it back to shots, the same problem occured. This same problem has happened to be before i reformatted my hd, but the curse has came back apon me, I really need to fix this problem, as it is killing me to the bone...

I think i'm positive that i have no virus, cause 1, This has happened before, and 2. It just now happened this day.

well, virus or not, it certainly is a different problem. Is the data still in the folder? Just that all your folder icons are changing and the text for the folders disappearing?

IMO, that sounds like malware, and I don't think it can hurt to click on prework in my signature and follow the prompts. I've seen stuff that causes this effect before, so my knee **** reaction is going to be malware. At the very least, let's rule that out first, ok?

Thanks,

Welcome to PCHF hello!

Id say malware maybe too, please rule it out then.

Follow the PCHF Prework link in my signature and then post back here a Hijackthis! Log and an AVG Antispyware Report. Then a member of our security team will check it over for you.
