Hi, Recently I was using "Windows Defender -> Tools -> Software Explorer" to look at the startup programs and came across this "delete bleh bleh.y2yqu9" file?! It was it was in C:\ProgramData and sure enough when I went to look in that folder there were multiple "delete bleh bleh" files. I'm worried this is some kind of virus or something?! Here's a screenshot of those files... http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/... What is the next step I should take? Should I be concerned? I have a Compaq computer with Windows Vista. Any other info you need, let me know. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You've got something unusual & perhaps malicious.... http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/... http://www.microsoft.com/security/m...

Also run CCleaner & possibly disk cleanup while you are trying to demystify these files. The fact that it is running at startup per Windows registry is of concern too. Just to be safe you might also try a rootkit scanner.

broni, Will you ever come out of your hiding place at smartestcomputing.us.com and help troubleshoot & analyze the HJT log that you personally asked the OP to post in this thread? If this is not what you meant to do, do not ever do it again. divyness, If you are still around, please repost your question in our Security & Virus Forum without the HJT log. You have a better chances of having our expert jabuck help you out. i_Xp/VistaUser

Thanks for all the help and will repost when I have time... Thanks so far. Still havent figured out what it is but... I will look again for help later at the Forum.
