Why do I have a folder 4_1 on my main Hard Drive

The past couple of weeks I suddenly notice a folder on my main window when I open my main Hard Drive. It is a standard folder labeled 4_1 with nothing in the folder!

What is this? Why is it appearing? I believe it must be somehow related to an application I am using--- but which one and why? Not a virus is it?

Very strange--- any comments welcome!

Best regards,

Hi, Stephen. I hope that solves the problem for you. I'm still confused about how I got a folder of that name on my hard drive, since I don't recall ever having downloaded iSkySoft's product. Oh well, it's been two days and that folder has not reappeared on my HD, so that's the important thing.
