Problem creating a new folder in XP SP2

I seldom create any new folders anymore but I have recently noticed that when I right click I don’t get a chance to enter a folder name, but, a folder IS created with the name of a bird (hawk, buzzard, etc.).

Apparently I have a virus or something. I tried doing a search to see if I could find a solution but none of the search terms produced helpful results.

Has anyone heard of this and do you have a place I can go to solve the problem?

I do run AVG but it has found nothing in particular.

Have you installed something called “ALZip?” Apparently that’s a feature. Here’s some detail:

That was fast and the correct answer too. I did what the link said and had to reboot but it worked fine.

I’m the old fashioned kind, I guess; I like to name my own folders when I create them.

That is a rather bizarre option in AlZip I think.
