OS: win 2000 server


Cry hidden directory-shaped .exe/ application file with name of containing folder

Hi,
As seen on the title..
many - not all - directories in my computer - win 2000 server - have a hidden directory holding the same name as its containing directory, but on the "type" column it says: Application

For example:
My c:/cd directory has a hidden c:/cd/cd directory.

It doesn't have a right-click "open with" option, though I dragged it into a notepad new file open, and it has a lot of code. I deleted all of it and pressed Save.
when I doubled-click it it gave me an error message saying - not a typo -
"This file is Damage!"

Some people said it's a virus.

What is this? What to do?

Thank you so much!

Re: hidden directory-shaped .exe/ application file with name of containing folder

I used the virustotal.com service to analyze the suspicious file, and here is the result:
