Random folders show up continually

Hello Guys

Since when, those random folders keep showing up even though I delete the folders

I googled it how to fix it but couldn't find information helpful.

However, I found out that those folders distract the Ransom Ware not to be hacked, is that true?

If not, does anyone know how to stop the folders show up?

Please let me know

Thank you so much in advance!

Thousands of folders appearing on desktop Thousands of folders are appearing on my desktop with random names. I selected them all and the first time there was 1055 folders created. I placed them all into one folder that I created and left it on my desktop while I finished my work and then I checked back an hour later and 400 more folders were created again. I tried putting them into the folder again but it was asking me if I wanted to replace a folder already in the folder I created. The same folders keep popping up on my desktop and this continued to happen three or four more times and I kept moving them into folders I created to get rid of the clutter until I could get it fixed. I did a malwarebytes scan and it detected nothing so Im not sure what the problem is and if I should bring it into the store.

"A Document Being s..tureui #" Spammed Everywhere Hi, for some reason, automatically, there are lots of folders that keep being auto-created called (A Document Being S...tureui #) with a random number after it. Is there a way to stop the file creations? Those folders are everywhere and there are a lot.
