and also can any one suggest please what is the best antivirus because norton does not recogniz most of the new virus

Norton is pretty useless at keeping out infections and then finding the ones that it's let in.

These are good programs, and all free:

Anti virus: AVG or Avast - use only ONE

Anti-spyware: Spybot S&D and Ad-aware - use both

Firewall: Kerio, Comodo or ZoneAlarm - use only ONE
There are multiple version of Zone Alarm, one of which is the free, firewall only version.

With your folder problem, do you mean that it looks like this View attachment 27201 instead of this View attachment 27202?

It will look slightly different because I have Vista, but it's basically the same thing ;)
 
thanks for advise Daveskater
i havent got problem with files which shows 123.jpg i have problem with folder for example it show every thing about folder lets suppose our folder name is windows it show that detail all in below of folder icon:
name which is normal
date of modified which is not normal
date or created
time of created
that is the problem it is so starnge
do you have any idea?
 
It sounds like a setting that has changed itself as opposed to malware. Windows has a habit of changing folder settings for no apparent reason.

Could you do a screenshot for me so I could see what exactly is happening?
