Whenever I add a new file or folder in Windows Explorer, a translucent, like little transparent kinda copy of that come near it. I think it's some virus. How can I stop it? Is there a a way to stop it without installing new software?

You see duplicates or triplicates when you include more than one locations. For instance, you get 2 listings when you include "shortcut." You get 3 listings when you include "public" folder. On top of the listing you can see "Includes: n locations." Clik and open it, remove the unnecessary locations.
