Hi all,

I`m running Vista 64 bit and just noticed a whole bunch, about 20 or so Directories in the root of drive C:

These directories have long names consisting of numbers and letters and most contain just one file. The file in some cases is mrtstub.exe. Googling this file leads me to believe it has something to do with Microsoft Malware protection. I guess the question is what are these directories, where do they come from and can I delete them.

Using the snipping tool (type snip in search) could you take a screenshot of the directory structure and upload it to us?

Are the folders a paler colour and semi-transparent?

You may have inadvertently turned on hidden files.
