omg I have the same problem.. i dont know where is that edited by ddp from, but it appears in about 30 min breaks.. This is really annoying and I dont know how to fix it. I dont want to format my computer, can anybody help me with this?
EDIT: Actually i fixed my problem. I just scanned it by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. The first time when i did it, it has found only 1 infected file, and it did nothing, but when i scanned it second time my antivirus has found 3 infected files and when i restarted my computer the edited by ddp has not appeared. I hope you'll fix it too. Try ESET antivirus.
