So far today I have found an empty folder called "New Folder" on my desktop 5 times. I delete it and some time later, I notice it is back. I have run spybot SD, Ad Aware, and Bazooka. none have found anything.

I am behind a very tight firewall, and am running Symantec antivirus 9, on Client security 2.0 with the latest definitions as of today.

Any ideas what might be creating this folder?
 
Take a look at any new softwares that you have installed recently... maybe one of them is doing something....
