unix executable file problem on MAC OSX ??? please help

I've got this problem. My computers and external hard drives are converting many of my files to a Unix Executable File which has a grey terminal looking icon. I don't understand what is causing this to happen. It is happening to a large number of my image file of different formats and also system files like fonts. also the UEF icons are showing up randomly in folders for no reason.
please help me, anybody. chad

Several attributes or groups can be specified, separated by comma. By default, gvfs-info shows all attributes. OPTIONS
The following options are understood: -h, --help Prints a short help text and exits. -w, --query-writable Show writable attributes and their types. -f, --filesystem Show information about the filesystem on which the files reside. -a, --attributes=ATTRIBUTES The attributes to get, specified as a comma-separated list of gvfs file attribute names. -n, --nofollow-symlinks Don't follow symlinks.
