I have these 2 files on my desktop that ive never been able to remove
Ive tried norton and mcafee and they are virus free
when I try and delete them I get the messege
'CANNOT DELETE FILE; CANNOT READ FROM THE SOURCE FILE OR DISC'
The file names are CAANW3HU and CACXEXD6
there both 0 bytes in size and the type extension is just file
ant suggestions

Try doing an error check on the drive ('My Computer' right click on the
offending drive, select properties and then the 'tools' tab). The chances
are that the directory entry for the file has just become orphaned from the
file to which it should point.

Try deleting them while in Safe Mode. Alternatively, try
unlocker from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/.
