That will open the Resource Monitor utility
Select the CPU tab
Then close up the Processes and Services sections
In the search box on the 'Associated Handlers' section, type the exact path to the latest folder created on your C drive.
That should then show what process(es) or application(s) is accessing the folder.

That is unlikely to be caused by a virus, more likely some software installed on your PC is creating the folders.
If you go into those folders, are there any files in any of the folders, if there are, please provide a screenshot of the folder contents.
