and if a scan my computer -using Kaspersky -it gives me no threats or viruses.
My files arent just infected in the C drive they are also infected in the D drive of my hard disk.

what could be the problem?

The blue just means they have be compressed. If you have recently run disk clean up you may have compressed the older files/folder.

Kakashi san, If you are referring to the wrong icon showing for those .thm files try the following.

Start your computer in SAFE mode then restart it in Normal mode. This will rebuild the iconcache.db file.


You could also download Tweak UI at the link below. After you install it you'll find it in Satrt>Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI. Open it and under Repair then choose Rebuild Icons.

If the previous possible fixes don't work your max iconcache may need to be increased. Go to the link below and scroll down to line 166 (right column) and download the "Add Icon Cache Size to Folder Options/View" .reg file. Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. This will give you 4 icon cache choices under the View tab in Folder Options. You can experiment with the choices starting with the smallest first. See if this corrects your problem.
