c:\fauxvirus folder

OS - WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC

I have recently performed a scan of my system using Norton 360 and Spyware
Doctor, Norton 360 found a folder called Fauxvirus on my system drive C:\.
Norton 360 did not report any issues with this and Spyware Doctor failed to
even find it.

I have attempted to locate the folder in windows however I am unable to find
the folder in question. I have used all possible settings for windows that I
can think of.

1. Should I treat this as a potential threat
2. How to I remove this folder when I cant see it.

I an taking the stance of a possible threat myself, so any helpm would be
great.

I'm curious if you have tried the windows defender(with all the current
definitions for it of course, these are obtained by using windows
update)

The folder may be be a Hidden System folder. You need to either find it outside of
Explorer or have Explorer view Hidden System files and folders.
