Ok, I don't know if this is a virus or not, but I have a lot of stuff I don't want to lose.

I know there are viruses that add extensions to files, but I have something that's adding what seems to be a blue triangle in a grey circle (like a play button?) to my icons. Only noticed two so far.

Is this a virus, or is it a program messing with my comp? One's a torrent, the other is a txt file.





EDIT:
Found another txt file with this icon.

I ran Kappersky. It picked up my Registry program. But that's not it.

You should ask from another section of this forum, I think that this has nothing to do with viruses. :)
