Be clear, do you know the name of the virus atleast? Its hard to identify viruses with the description you give, cause that's a common thing a virus would do, irritate.

it is not another folder it is creating inside d original folder

it is an *.exe file with d same name as d host folder (since d ext is hidden and icon same as dat of a folder, u will mistake it 4 a folder, DONT CLICK ON IT !!!!!)

AFAIK it is a brontok worm

HERES d removal tool

Win32.Brontok.A@mm
