Oops! Your PC is infected! The culprit is 'I-worm.Brontok.a in' virus. This worm creates replica of folder inside the folder with same name. The source may be from mobile memory card.
Install a good antivirus software like avast!, update it's definitions...Scan entire system.
All the best. Do revert back with feedback.

Yeah absolutely it's a 'I-worm.Brontok.a.in' virus. Actually it comes through ur memory card of ur mobile phone. When it is insert ur computer it's creat a daughter folder as the same name of ur parent folder nd when u click on this daughter folder it infects ur computer. Moreover it disable ur folder options. Install a good antyvirus and sacn ur computer after that remove the infected folder.U may use Quick Heal antivirus-2006 trial version or NOD32 antivirus for this issue.
