Sounds like a classic case of a virus or malware
More important than fixing the folders is to be sure you get rid of the virus
Scan with a good anti virus

Download and scan with malwarebytes

Thanks for the Rep. After you are done with with scans, report the results. Either I or another member will contine with your help.

In fact, I will give you the next step now. If your sure that you do not have any virus or malware, try a system restore to bring the folders back.
