-Update - files have been published in a folder, all the files at random, most of the types I ever heard!
-Updated - 05/11/15
After Running System Mechanic - Iolo (that I highly recommend to anyone that's awesome) 59 registry problems were found and fixed as well as many other issues. No virus found so maybe my computers just more old and senile!
Now I always have these random files from programs ect... Should I just reinstall and delete them all?
Some examples of files are listed below in the original post.
-Original message-
Can someone help me please, I tried to find a solution but all I can find is the opposite of what happens here!
(I made the "BOLD" main points, so you can skim read)
Library of Documents, I go into My Documents, >Carlies animals >Carlies Music.
As you can tell here are the files I created, I have not put this file in a download directory , or something like that.
etc I tried to hide hidden files and the file does not include 'other places'.
I had random pictures appear, about 4000 files.
I did a virus scan, a threat was found and removed however has not changed.
Some files I've actually put in new folders just to organize them, but then I thought that I should leave the rest alone incase
It affects the location of them caused them non-functional or be corrupted.
Some of these files come from two games, these two games are basic games that are primarily of jpegs, documents, Notepad and .vlc for sounds
and they have just appeared in this folder. I also got these small gifs appear and I do not know they came however they do not stop in .gif they end up in underscore.
Other files are PDF, Excel Docs together mix stuff randomly along with zipped files, Installation configurations:
-.dll
-.ocx
-table
-.inf
-.sam
-.prt
-.sdb
-.rul
-.mmc
-.pen
-.olb
-.mof
-_s
-.elm (Microsoft Office themes)
-.mdf
-.map
-Google Chrome HTML files.
It is in fact much more than I expected so I'll leave the rest.
These file types are those that I have never heard about.
If I do not know where the files were created by, should I move them back?
Please help me!
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hi Carlie,
My apologies for the delay in response.
The following information will help us refine this question.
- What is the name of the folder?
- What is the location of the folder? To find it, follow this process, right click on a folder, click Properties, click the location tab)
- Also check the information creation, modification, access files. (To find it, follow this process, right click on a folder, click Properties, on the general tab you can find the information above).
If the folder is created recently, you can perform a system restore to the day before the date of this file has been created.

I have Acrobat Pro on my computer and I work with the drawing that have been digitized in PDF format. The scanners are not aligned or place because of the poor scanning process. Is there anyway to align the document even if it requires me to crop or lose some on the edges?
Hi brad.
Yes. You can use the analysis tools to straighten and crop your document. Here is a link to a new tutorial. The key to activate the sliding options recovery is to choose the option of the camera Image in the drop to Enhance, and gives you tools to set the correct page for smoothing areas.

Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome. Specifically, a large part of Tumblr and Facebook menu has been changed in another language (Russian, I think). I tried reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and reset firefox to its default state. None of them helped. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Hey again,
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
I hope this helps!

And how one removes the Christmas lights that have been offered as a decoration for the top and bottom of the screen. They tend to hide the navigation bar. Several days ago Firefox gave the 'dress-up' in a message.
It seems that https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/christmas-lights/ is added as an extension, but is categorized as a character (lightweight themes). Go to tools > Modules then check extensions and themes, and then uninstall it.
Now that the status bar is now the toolbar addons that I see those that are listed are all personas and they do not affect the toolbar addons you would also find a theme, and think that it must be very confused now that I no longer able to filter topics with a Google addons research - phooey.
Extensions can be identified with intitle: Add - ons and have changed my research of extension add-ons accordingly.

These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times. Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens? Do I have to uninstall the update?

If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved by using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse, and then choose the previous Version in the drop-down list of filters in the Panel of Apps from the desktop creative cloud application. There will be a popup next to the Muse, where you can select a version prior to install.

During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?
You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.
Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:
Overview
Here are the steps described in more detail below:
- Create a new Firefox profile
- Delete all of this profile folder
- Copy in all of the old profile folder
Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)
Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by pressing ENTER:
firefox.exe -P
Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.
Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer
Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- Menu help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.
Copy old data instead of new
In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).
Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).
Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.
Launch Firefox
Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos. Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos. When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG. Is there a way to fix this? I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use. I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!
