As of late I've been getting thousands, yes thousands, of zip files put into my Shared directory that I have not downloaded. These files are labeled as zip files with a setup.exe file zipped into it.
Any idea why???

One possible explanation is you have a virus and it may have set aside any virus protection you may have had. You do have an antivirus don't you?? I ask only because I know too many ppl who don't. If, just for your peace of mind, you don't mind try this jiffy little online virus scanner. It's free, it works and it will not leave you hanging.

I tried the link you advised and everything is now okay.
Thanks for your help. It was a worm (worm mugly). I didn't
have virus protection, but I do now.
