It seems like some evil force damaged file system on my microSD card.
Yesterday it was alright.
Today I have some new suspicious folders with non-sensible names like
DATA-APP.(
dpn
ppy_cross
V LEO
WIYUNz1
Some filenames have kind of DOS 8.3 format 0_0
PERFGC~1
C MMOB~1.OFF
QNDROI~1
SOCIAL~1. `
rTERIC~1
BVATAR~1.AVI
I don't remember these to appear before either...
Some folders have names consisting of impossible characters... Can't give an example because I don't have such symbols on my keyboard.
Some folders are kind of recognizable from before but got renamed in an ugly fashion:
ANDrOID
bACKUP
2gi{
astroplayerTeta (where T have some dash on the bottom)
My Books folder also got renamed into "BOOKS $", but a new "Books" folder appeared instead and it's empty.
Well... It's not such a critical issue, but I am kind of aNNOYed...
Is it a virus? (don't think I have installed some viral stuff though)
Is it a bug?
How can I get my filesystem back in "normal" state? (please don't say "rename everything manually)
Is it safe to remove those new folders? (although it's hard to figure out which ones are completely new because android apps usually pollute sdcard root with their data and I obviously can't remember all files and folders which were in the root directory of my microSD card before)
How do I prevent this from happening in future?

My phone runs Android 4.0.3, no custom firmwares..
I haven't removed my SD card from my phone ever since I inserted it quite a while ago
