I just did a virus scan and I noticed it was scanning in the "Upload" folder.

There were loads of programmes that i've never had popping up.

I went to this folder and sure enough there were hundreds of zip folders with programmes ive never had?

Where could these have come from?!

What files have you recently downloaded?

If it was the MotoGP 3 No-CD Patch, it contains spyware/trojans, and has been removed from the site, run a good Anti-Spyware program such as Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

In addition to using spyware tools such as AdAware and Spy-Bot, you may want to scan your system completly using a virus scanner

^^ One of the best, free online scan, be sure to let it install its' ActiveX control so it can install and update its' virus patterns.

Cheers.

I've deleted the files in question. I use ad aware and spy bot.

All seems fine now.:)
