(error code -8058) OS X ML

I am having a bunch of problems with my MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2011) after upgrading to Mountain Lion.


OS X ML or some sort of virus is creating folders on its own with different names, which I cannot select, open, drag, nor delete! The names that came up until now are: Movies, Folder, and Images. (See photo).


User uploaded file

If I select the file, for ex. GOPR1160.JPG hold Shift Key and click on GOPR1135.mov, the folder Movies is than selected together with the two other files. When I try to drag them to trash by clicking and holding the Movies folder, nothing moves. I am only able to do this through draging through the two other files. Once I send them to trash I get this message:


User uploaded file


I hit delete and then try to empty the trash, I get this error:


The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058).


The folders Movies, Images and Folder remain where I found them and cannot be deleted.


Is this a Mac Virus and is my computer infected? What should I do? I don't have a back up disk and am concerned that I might lose information from my MBP.


Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2011, 15"

Is the folder Arranged by Kind?


Those look like the placeholders for the Arrangement groupings.


What build number of Mountain Lion is it? You can get the build number from the About this Mac dialog. Click on the version number and it will display the build number.

Yes, that's what the placeholders are supposed to look like, but on some early builds, they showed up as folders sometimes. I imagine something that is supposed to translate them into the divisions isn't working correctly. I have no idea what that might be, though.

Now the folders are not there:
User uploaded file


And the files are not in a row from a-z and 1-9.


In addition to this problem, my mac is running very slow from time to time. Sometimes, I type in something, the screen does not display what I typed. It appears after a second or two.
