Folder with name that ends with a dot

[ayeshid]

I have a folder in one of my drive with the name "bad."

Yes, it ends with a dot. Neither I can open it nor can delete it. I format that drive but even then it is here.

What do you think if this is a virus?

Because my system is doing some strange things like change the system date and open some internet sites automatically. I checked that folder and drive with Antivirus but it says nothing.

Yesterday I find another folder with same characteristics with name "driver.". Perhaps there are more. Can someone please help to out?
