Creating new folder, names filled automatically

[Surjit Singh]

Noticed two new things. First of all when I right click in Windows Expolorer, there is New Folder tab on top. It was not there before. Secondly, if I click on it, instead of the words New Folder, different words are automatically filled it, such as chicken, goose etc.

Is this a a problem? If yes, how do I get rid of it?

BTW, if instead I click on New and then on Folder that appears on top, I correctly get New Folder as the new folder name.

Sounds like you have a third party app installed or most likely some sort of spam/malware.

Download, install, and run Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Thanks.

Turned out it had to do with Alzip that I installed after 'free' Winzip stopped working. I was very worried but their forum says the behaviour was a harmless 'feature':

I deleted Alzip and all is well. I use filzip now.

That's a feature?
Huh!

Did you try Winrar?

Or 7-zip? That is a strange feature.
