Hi,
Yesterday i noticed some files and folders i haven't seen before. They looked strange so i scanned my device but the scan turned out negative. After deleting the folders, they receated under a new name and the files inside were also named differently.
An image from 'Suspicous folders keep creating'. Screenshots showing lists of files with varied, unusual filenames and extensions, all dated 29.09.2018.

It seems that the names are just random words. When i open the files, it's either a broken document or an image of static.

What are they? How do i remove them?

Thanks!

In what directory are they being created and how quickly are they created after deletion?
 

I'm pretty certain by looking at the file names alone it's related to RansomFree's bait files.
