My desktop keeps getting some strange files showing. I don’t know how but they show up at different times and it takes a long time to delete them all. Some of the files are FAPB40E, FAP695B, FAP58EA, and FAPB54D. There are 20-30 files that show at a time, maybe more. When I try to open them (they look like link to a net site) they all come up a blank page showing only an address. What is going on and how can I fix it so it doesn’t keep happening? 

Thanks

This issues seems to be a problem with Adobe Flash player. Sometimes it can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Flash. I found this link from another forum if reinstalling doesn't help: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Protected_Mode_issues_on_Windows_Vista_and_above
