A while back I had mentioned that a large number of files on my pc had their identity names in blue, while some were still black. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I had done. Sooooooooooo with this still bugging me as I started to think I had an undetected virus or something I did a search on it.
I found out it was nothing major at all. For some reasons unknown a setting had changed in explorer. Under explorer, tools, then view tab, 3rd from the bottom is "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" was checked.

Whew at least it was something simple.
