Hi all -
Visiting at my parents and trying to clean up their computer.
Yesterday I put Norton Internet Security on it, being as they had no
antivirus program installed at all. While doing so, I noticed that my
father's profile has on his desktop, 10 files that I cannot move or
delete:
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk
He said he has no idea what they are (I'll list names below - they have
no extension - if that helps). However, in his recycle bin, were the
exact same files, only these had sizes like 60kb,etc, that had been
deleted and put in there 3 weeks ago!
Any clues at all what these might be leftovers from? Defragging left
them there, I tried the C: prompt and the file manager. File names are
(exactly as they show):
CAOHAHVO.
CAO98Z0H.
CAN2GFBL.
CAMFGHKL.
CACH2H9Q.
CAYJAJMX.
CAC5U7OT.
CAVM2TZJ.
CA0TMFKX.
CAU7OTOX.
CAQF492T.
Those periods are at the end of each name, and like I said, they have
no extension, and no size whatsoever.
