The following folders appeared on my PC: 2cdocuments23, 2cvalues168, xfiles107, xsettingsettings34.
all in range of 20 minutes. In each of them around 10 files with names such as "TF0Dmp.xlsx", "patchen-advance-sorry-wished.txt", "pages.chinese.population.black". There is no doubt they were not created by me or any of my programs. The virus scan did not found anything. I'm sure there is some suspicous activity going on in my computer, what is your recommendation?
Waiting for you recommendations. Thanks!

Seeing as I can't comment it sounds like you have either downloaded a malicious executable or installer which installed those documents or have a Random Access Trojan. While there exist certain tools or programs designed to help you detect these, I would opt for a more hands-on approach.
Start by looking for any strange processes or services you have running, and perhaps at any resources that are under heavy usage. One thing I would keep in mind is that a skilled eye is needed to detect things that can appear to be Windows related. If you don't have much experience or intuition, I would consult another source. I wouldn't just type in them to Google because sometimes they are said to be viruses but you need them.
Familiarize yourself with the registry, BUT BE ADVISED THAT ANY CHANGES MAY RESULT IN YOUR COMPUTER RENDERING ITSELF USELESS.
Firsthand experience, I thought "cimv2" was version two of a root and I deleted all that and I messed up because I didn't take proper precaution. I would backup and create System Restore points if you don't already have them.
If you would like further explanation, a/o methods if your problem runs deep feel free to PM me.
