Weird folders - Haseo - 2011-11-30

I was installing my mouse driver today and discovered two unsettling folders in the top area of the folders from which I could choose to place the driver files.

Basically, I have no idea what the ???? folder or the gibberish folder (the two at the top) are. Does anyone know? I can't find them when I look for them in program files. Are they spyware folders?

EDIT: Seems Southperry censors my URL. As a result, I am unable to display the image I hosted on Photobucket. To see the picture, replace 'wtparethefirsttwofolders.png' with 'wtfarethefirsttwofolders.png'. Sorry about that.

No, the picture wasn't deleted. Southperry censors the f in wtf, thus redirecting you to a nonexistent link. The picture still exists. If the directions in the first post are followed, you will be able to find the image.

Either way, I will rename and reupload the file.

looks like foreign language based programs.
executables cannot comprehend the language if it isn't the country standard setting of your PC.

or, you could download a program called "Everything" - http://www.voidtools.com
try and search for the ???? folder and see if it can find it.

Probably things in a completely foreign language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc). Some programs don't handle those foreign characters well. Check the folders yourself in Windows.
