    Found odd looking files on laptop


    In the last four or five days I have discovered files folders and files which recently appeared.

    In my C: drive two folders - abpackage 150 and Xdetails 212

    D: (Recovery) three folders ahscan 17, aimages 77, Uwrap 101

    E: Vlog 131, Attransfer 5223

    F: Uworking 48, KpackageB2, Lconfig144, Tscan66

    Inside most of these folders are a bunch of files, some of which are .rtf, doc, xls but all of them just show gibberish or that the file format is not recognised.

    I've used Webroot scanner, Anti-Malwarebytes, and I'm currently running Defender, nothing has shown up.
    rThe last program I installed was Auslogics Boostspeed and I'm stating to wonder if these folders/files are to do with this program? Some of these files were written to disk at 11:51 today so it seems to be an ongoing thing.

    I've tried Googling but nothing comes up.

    Just noticed that on my C: the two folders (above) have been replaced by abuse55 and Xversions196.

    I'm setting up to run a bootup scanner, maybe Kaspersky or Avira when Defender completes.

    Should I be concerned about this stuff?

    :)

    Cortana doesn't respond to "Hey Cortana"

    Thanks - just found that out!

    It does seem very odd that "Hey Cortana" works on a four year-old laptop and not on a 12 month old smartphone.... :-(

    Text and ICONS too large

    Hi All,

    Just weird thing happened today on my lenovo laptop running windows 10, all my word or ms office or file names or icon looks bolder and pixelated, they look like when you have zoomed in to them and kind of looks blurry, not sure what has gone wrong coz none
    of the system settings has been altered and its one person using laptop. So please let me know what I need to do, coz this looks odd and difficult to work.

    Thanks

    Yes, I am using Ransom Free!

    This is Xversions196 in my C: drive, different to what I first saw there.
