Folders keep moving to System volume folder which is hidden

Dear All,
I am experiencing crisis in the infrastructure
I had virus infection and I had recovered from it "not completely" - the problem is folders keeps moving to hidden System volume folder
I tried working with security essential and it found that I have myfiles.exe infection
I blocked all executable files from the system - re installed new OS
I still get this problem that folders moved to system volume folder
from event viewer - after blocking exe files
user UUUUUUU attempted to save D:\xxx.exe on D:\ on server SSSSS This file matches the "Executable Files" file group which is not permitted on the system.
the xxx.exe name is the name of folder which then moved to system volume folder trying to put exe file on its place
please advice for urgent remediation

Hi,
Is the “myfiles.exe” virus deleted, when you perform a virus scanning on the server? Please boot your server in Clean Mode to see if the issue still exists.

Startup disk contains replica of itself inside invisible Volume folder

Hello. Bizarrely, my startup disk contains an image of itself, naturally diminishing the available disk space. It sits inside an invisible folder, namely: Volumes/[name of the starup disk]. This invisible folder "Volumes". Now, inside this folder are images (or folders) of all the volumes on the machine, and of each of them finder claims a size that maches the size of the date on it. But the folder "Volumes" itself is claimed to be the almost size of all the date on the startup disk except the Volumes folder itself. So Users, Applications, Library and System together are the same size as this invisible Volumes folder—almost. The Caches folders are missing inside the Volumes folder. And what finder counts as used space on that startup disk is just all the files including the size of that Volumes folder.
I don't think that's the way it should be, is it?

Hello H-C-R. no, I'm not. It may very well be that /Volumes folder. It doesn't display a / in the folder name, but maybe that's not what you mean. Anyway, it is like I said an invisible folder entitled "Volumes", and it contains what looks like all volumes connected, and their respective size count displays the size of the data each. All those folder's have icons like the volumes they refer to (no indication of them being aliases), except the startup volume. which is the volume that ominous invisible Volumes folder is sited on, too. That one is present twice. Once as a folder bearing the name of the volume, but not it's icon, and once as an alias bearing the name of the volume with [space]1 added to it, and the volume's icon. And the invisible Volumes folder on the startup disk has a size count, and that size count adds to the Used count of that startup disk. And since this is a long explanation for something visible at one sight, I'll give you a picture —
hope that it will be legible. Nice avatar icon btw. (yours).
Hello, Mr. Nanita, too. Does it contain only that alias?

ITunes 9.0.2 moving files to new folder as they play

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 (not sure if that has anything to do with this). I keep a very organized Music folder which is located at the default ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. When ever I add new files I make sure they've filed themselves at the right spot. Last night I added three new albums and when I selected Reveal in Finder in iTunes I noticed they have moved to a new folder called "Music" within ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. I have not made any changes to my iTunes prefs since the move to SL. Here's the real odd part, say I move the album back a level to /iTunes Music, and keep a Finder window open in the background so I can see this new .../iTunes Music/Music, as I double the song to play it, iTunes moves it back to this new folder! I can bring them back and back and back and iTunes will keep moving it. I can't find a setting anywhere for this.
Anyone have this problem?

Doublechecking something Emcee. I see you've got Windows 7 x64, so I'm assuming you've got at least 4 GB of RAM. Do you also have an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on that PC? If so, see the following Microsoft document:

Lightroom just created a new 2014 folder to receive images from 2014, but I already have a 2014 folder which has received all my previous images. How do I get the system to keep using the original 2014 folder?

How do I route newly created images into my existing folder for 2014? Why did the system create a new folder which seems to be snatching all my new images?

Well, something is not making sense here, and I might have to spend some time thinking about it, or hopefully someone else will know exactly what the issue is.
The first screen capture you provided shows the Lightroom Folder Panel, with folders on the C: drive named 2012, 2013 and 2014 and then the problem second 2014 folder, followed by many folders whose name begins with "My Canon".
The most recent screen capture you provided shows the C: drive problem 2014 folder, but none of those other folders!
Can you show us a screen capture of your Windows Explorer C: drive folders? Particularly, can you expand the folder structure so that it shows where the 2012 and 2013 and original 2014 folders and the problem 2014 folder are located? If that takes 2 or more screen captures, that's fine. ALso, if you can show the "My Canon" folders, please do.

Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

[Forum FAQ] Reduce the size of System Volume Information folder

Symptom
There is a folder called System Volume Information in the root of each drive. (Figure 1)
Sometimes, you may find the size of System Volume Information folder is too large. However,
it is not recommended to delete the files in it casually since
the System Volume information folder is
created by the Operating System and used by Windows for storing critical information related to the system configuration.
Figure 1.
Note:
The System Volume Information folder
is a hidden system folder on each drive by default, you can show the hidden files and folders before accessing it.
Cause
In general, the System Volume Information folder contains
System Restore points, Distributed Link Tracking Service databases, Content Indexing Service databases, WinFS databases and information used by the Volume
Snapshot Service.
If you enable shadow copies on a volume, more and more VSS snapshots will be created in the "System Volume Information" folder. Then the size of this folder will become
too large.
Solution
You can follow the steps below to free up the space of System Volume Information folder safely:
1. Delete the GUIDs files in System Volume Information folder using DiskShadow.exe.
1) Open a command prompt with administrator privilege, then type “DiskShadow.exe” at the command prompt.
2) Type “Delete shadows OLDEST <BackupStorageLocation>”
at the command prompt.
3) Type “Exit” to exit DiskShadow.exe.
Note: Theoldestshadow
copy in the folder will be deleted each time
you run the commands. Before you run those commands, please
make sure the oldest shadow copy is not useful to you.
2. Changing the amount of disk space available to VSS
1) Right-click on the drive you want to configure, and click “Properties”.
2) Click “Shadow Copies” and then click “Settings”. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
3) Choose “Use limit" and type the maximum size you want to set for the shadow copies, then click “Ok”.
(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
Note: The extra shadow copies would be deleted in System Volume Information folder once you
configure the Maximum size to a lower value than before.It
will delete the older shadow copies firstly. Before you configure this setting, please make sure that you have enough space
to create shadow copies.

Hi,
You could choose the shadow copies tap then choose Settings and then “use Limit" put in 1024MB, OK and OK, the drive would have plenty of free space.

Good idea? . . . Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume

Read the below quote from Mac Performance Guide. Is it a good idea? I know a bit of DOS, so I am used to command line commands but even after after Lloyd Chambers explanation, still not sure what is going to happen?
ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
The reason I want to move my Mail folder out of the home directory is because I plan to have a SSD as my boot drive and the home directory is on the boot drive, correct?
"Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume
This trick lets you move your Mail folder out of your home directory onto your data volume. I’ve used this technique for years so that I can forget about having to back up my home directory (default location for Apple Mail) and simply back up my one data volume: Master. The same trick can be used for any similarly irritating program that insists on storing its data in your home directory, rather than giving you a choice (a few programs are too brain-dead for this to work). Programs like iTunes let you choose where to put your music; use that option.
Your Apple Mail folder is in the Library folder of your home directory.
The trick requires starting Terminal. If that makes you uncomfortable, stop here! You are going to make a symbolic link.
0. Quit Apple Mail, and make a backup of your mail folder.
1. Copy the Mail folder to the top level of your data drive (or elsewhere, then modify step 3 appropriately).
2. Rename the original mail folder to Mail.old as an additional backup.
3. Start a Terminal window and type:
ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
This makes a symbolic link to the folder Mail on the volume Master (type the name of your volume, and use quotes around it if the volume name contains a space character). The resulting file Library/Mail is a tiny file that says “look over there on /Volumes/Master/Mail instead”.
From here on out Apple Mail won’t know the difference! Launch Apple Mail and verify that it worked. If you encounter problems, simply copy your backup back into place."

I just put the entire /Users/myaccount on another drive.
Unlock Account control panel - advanced options -
/Volumes/volname/Users/myaccount
Move the whole enchilada instead of just mail. Definitely want to get Safari or web browsers cache which does a lot of I/O also. maybe put /Users on 2nd SSD or 10K VelociRaptor. Or just use your 640GB drive for /Users

Double up of my document folder If I click on my Documents in finder it then opens another selection of folders including yet another documents folder which if this one is clicked on the folder is repeated yet again this does not appear to be correct help

I believe I have a problem when opening up my documents in finder. where upon I can view all my folders but with yet another Documents folder within this group, if I then click on this second Documents folder yet again a repeat of the do'cs folder appears. I have tried to merge the Documents folders into one but after a morning and a few hours later having completed the merge when I reopened the folders the problem was still there. Help.

I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree. The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree. The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

A couple of suggestions that may help:
- Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
- You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.
