So, I noticed these two guys.


They just popped up out of nowhere. Really suspicious.




When I try and access anything in the pictures above ^, I get a message telling me that I don't have the permission to go into it and that I have to override it. (I'm the only user of this CPU)

I don't know much concerning viruses and hacks. I'm extremely paranoid about them and take every precaution to avoid them. I've never actually gotten any to my knowledge and i've never had problems with a PC... until now.

I have those two folders too. In the four years I've used Windows 7, they haven't harmed any of my computers, so I'm confident that they're not viruses.

What they are, though, I don't know. Probably temporary files of some sort.

Those aren't viruses, I think they might just be a program you installed or Window's itself.

Relevant.

I also have folders like that. They're safe to delete if you can, but they're not harmful. I think they're caches for some installers but am too lazy to bother looking it up. Those "random" numbered folders in there are language codes (full list here). A virus wouldn't go through the effort to properly localize it's payload (and if they do they're more standards-compliant than some professional companies) and I'm sure if you opened up some of those BMPs you'll see which programs they're installers for.
