First run any process explorer application, and kill the process which is creating those folder.exe. If u don't know which process is responsible for that simply kill all suspicious process it takes only 3 minutes..
Now use windows search file (note: "search for hidden files and folder " option is enabled) now under "lookin" box type
c:\;D:\;e:\;f:\;g:\;h:\;i:\ what ever drive u have now hit enter... arrange search result according to size now simply delete exe files with folder logo (all exe files usually are common in size)
Now u are done... no antivirus.. its works 100%

My dear,

This is 100% wrong answer
The same moment after deleting the files, all will reappear

Exactyly! Friend that's why I'm mentioning the name any process killer application... (highjack this also works fine). You first kill the process which is creating those folders... than else I said it.
I've tested it in my PC.. believe me I've never used any antivirus software for this problem. [email protected]
Still got problem use antivirus software... :)
