So, I've just noticed something peculiar in these locations:
  • Desktop
  • C:\
  • the root folder of external hard drives
  • ...
some randomly named (seems encrypted) hidden folders exist such as:

cRUQSfOTXj
bnfWscOfOlLSA
wOcRPkwERx
...

And some randomly named files with various extensions (zip, txt, doc, ...) live inside every one of these folders.
It is created again when deleted.

Malwarebytes did not detect anything suspicious.
Please help me to find the virus or trojan or whatever it might be.
