Disappearing files
Hello,

I've noticed that some of my directories disappear from hard disk drive. At first I just was confused thinking that I did something and delted them accedently. But now I'm sure that something is happening without me knowing it. I noticed that some /bin directories dissappear (from java, svn, gimp, etc...) and at least one directory that simply has a bunch of executables (named utils). I had symantec antivirus and I believe I first noticed that when it was installed. But since that time I started to use McAfee. None detected any viruses. I also ran Stinger, but I did not do it from a clean boot though.

Any suggestions?

I'm using Windows Vista Business.

Thanks a lot.
