Hello Cardlady. Just joined today1Dec08. Searched for someone with my same problem. Bingo! But, alas you have not had a response answer. I noticed it also on an AVG8 scan-got the same info you got. I suspect something or someone has locked my files although my system seems to operate functionally.I've searched my folders and can't seem to find these particular files. They can't be scaned. I also suspect that it's some sort of adware/spyware program using those files-perhaps that's why I'm getting so much strange cookies(ATDMT,ad yeildmanager,adopt.euroclick,doubleclick,fastclick,hitbox question market, tacoda, zedo,.2o7. Sound familiar???). I notice it's been three weeks since you posted. If you get a reply would you please share with me? Tony---Watersisland@hotmail.com---Thanks.
