How do I stop my computer from making duplicate copies of files?

Asked by john65pennington (29268points) November 9th, 2010

My computer insists on making duplicate files of everything. Sites I visit and sites I do not visit. I was gone for 8 hours and it had duplicated 37,000 files. I erased all of them, but they will be back in the morning. Question: How do I stop my computer from duplicating files on its own?

Update your virus checker, then disconnect from the Internet and run a full scan.
