From Thread I:

Unless you are sitting behind some really good firewalls and have very good antivirus software then be careful where you go. I am serious. These people are hacking and if they can get personal info on you then I don't know what they will do with it. They are using Java programs to do who knows what. And I don't mean to trash your computer...so it must be simply to get information about you. I may be a victim myself. I found evidence that Java web start had been used without my knowledge. And I found files in my root drive with Arabic letters for file names. I am worried quite simply. So please be careful and leave the scary web site searching up to those who are seriously set up for it.

Where in the root drive did you find the files? I'd like to take a look what's lurking in mine.

Right on the root of the c drive. Not in a folder. In same place as your windows folder(along next to it).

Since we can chat now, how does one find the root drive or anything else that may have been accessed by someone very undesirable. I certainly wouldn't want any of these guys to have my address etc.
