My C drive file is filled with unknown-file types such as sag.d, many per day?

They're in C drive. When I open "my computer" and click the C drive icon. I thought they might be virus, malware, etc.; however, I've done full system scan %26amp; Norton doesn't pick up any viruses, adware, etc.





There are several for each day, beginning 7/5/06. All files are of unknown type and each begins with an s. For example, the files generated today (7/29/06) s2p8.k, s2p8.j, s2p8.i, etc. The file sizes for today are zero, and the file types correspond to the file names; ie K file, J file, I file, etc.





Yesterday's files were sag.d, sag.b, sag.a, sag.9, sag.8, etc. These files are no longer zero size. They range from 3 kb to 77 kb.





Searches on Google, Microsoft, and Symantec produce no results.

Hmmmm.... I don't know - there's none on my PC. I would imagine that one of your programs is generating these files and the only way to find out if they are having any effect on your PC would be to delete them. If one of your programs then says it can't find them, then you will have found the culprit.





I'd also download Window Washer from Limewire.com and run this each day. Its a wonderful program for cleaning all of the rubbish ot of your temp files, internet cache, etc. It may even clean all of these out for you.
Reply:They are virus, in my opinion norton sucks, i had norton and it nevers pick up virus. But then I remove it and put kapersky (i did because that happens to me too) and it detect more that 400 virus.





So i will recomend to change norton and try a more powerfull anti-virus, I use Kapersky
Reply:Definately sounds like a virus - I would recommend AVG though not Kapersky - seen that cause many problems
