What type of files are they (mp3, zip, rar etc)?

Did you download something just before these extra downloads started showing...if you did, what type of file did you download?

Have you done an antivirus scan? Which AV program do you use?

Do you scan downloaded files with your AV before opening?

Have a look at the thread below, there's info about viruses & links to online AV scans...try one of those.
