Yet again i was attacked by virus..
this time there were some funny files appearing here and there
e.g $RECYCLE.BIN / erData / desktop.ini
the icons were somehow "lighter" than the normal ones
any advice??

thanks

Do a complete with updated antivirus software.

I think they are suppose to be hidden files..
If not causing any problems, hide them back..
