I think Windows creates these files automatically, if there are any images in the same folder. This is for the thumbnail previews in your Explorer.

They are created when you open the explorer window and have thumbnail view on. Like the screenshot below. This file is created by Windows, so the next time you come to browse that folder the thumbnails show faster (cache). So it is not a virus

I don't know how and why you justified this as an "ASP.NET" related post, but please do NOT post things like this in the ASP.NET Forum again!
