Recently my system disk (C:) keeps on creating weird folders such as Xtool187 Xcreator,... I scanned these folders and the result is clean. But the files included in these folder are weird too (personal-translate-sister.doc ; bedding-going.pem , ....
P/s: i deleted them but it keep coming back with another name
<i'm using Windows 10 Creator>
