A new G: drive appeared from nowhere. There are two Folders. One is named Ltransfer249, the other is Tcached87. In these folders there are about six files that when I open are encrypted (garbled letters, numbers and symbols. Any help on this would be appreciated.
thanks,

Welcome to the forum. Can you post a screen shot from disk manager showing details of paritions and show the files from explorer.
What is the creation date of the files its possible you have malware encrypting your files
my first time posting here. How do I attach the info you need? I used Snipping tool but didn't see where to attach files you requested.
What a strange strange strange filenames. My guess: VIRUS! Get rid of it! :) Wipe those partitions clean and merge them again with the C drive (with a partition manager)
The G: drive is Disk 1 and it shows as a 2TB drive. I don't see how it can just pop up suddenly. You don't know where a 2TB drive came from???????
Do they look like your filenames it look like ransomware encrypting your files
Download Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool get the right one 64 or 32 bit it will produce to txt files post those results
