How exactly did you open the proc directory?
try open a terminal and type: ls /proc
the proc directory holds the running processes of the system like those you see in the top program or conky, they change frequently
I would not recommend messing around with it but perhaps you are more skilled than I
this has been a complaint of other OS users often just looking around. on some computers attempts to open the proc directory with the file manager causes the system to freeze or crash and a hard shutdown via the power button is required.
I do not know how or why you opened proc so I am just passing on what I have read
perhaps you can provide further information
