Hi,
I need some help. My girlfriend's computer started acting wonky a week or so ago and i can't figure out why. Ultimately i was advised to come here for help.

so here's what happened. Suddenly at one point the "new music" folder on her desktop, where she downloads new files and bittorrent albums went all corrupted. any folder that existed in it suddenly had gibberish names with weird characters, and there were many matching files. none of these could be deleted. i tried running virus scans and whatnot to little result. runs of ad-aware would freeze up, but i ultimately got around that and got rid of a very large number of offenses. Then, at some point while i was doing all of this the names of the folders all changed to "bkdr_*" with any variety of words following the underscore by broken up by periods, like this: "bkdr_dea.th". at this point virus scans would get to the folder and get stuck in a cyclical thing.

i've run spybot s&d, avg antivirus and ad-aware.

the weird thing that happened recently is that all of the files and folders dissapeared. i don't know when, but they are gone. i am still worried about what is going on though, and just want to be sure that everything is okay. again, avg has been giving me nothing, and spybot removed 2 small infractions.

so here's my hijack this log, hopefully you'll tell me i'm clear, or be able to offer up any kind of idea as to what may have happened to her computer. any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
jon.
