Unusual file appearing in C:/ (local boot drive)

[Guest]

Hello, Im having a very unusual problem. Ive been using Windows for a long
time most problems i can figure out but this is a very strange one. After i
reboot my computer a file will appear on my local disc were windows is
installed C:/Program Windows will give me a message asking me to rename the
file so it dosnt cause any problems with any programs. So i rename the file
to Program1 on my next reboot the file returns as Program and i rename it
again. If i delete the file a few days later it just returns. Its becoming
very anoying any help would be great.

I had this same problem about a year ago but after i deleted it it went away.

Hi

Is there any info. via a right click Properties to see how the file is being
created? You may be able to find out which program/app. is creating the
file.

No information on the file in the properties of the file. its a 0kbs file
with no text on it. I will check the file again next time it appears
thx

Well after checking the file, i just noticed i had it again theres no
information on the file at all, im not sure which program is creating it. i
have ran a antivirus (norton) and a spywear checker (lavasoft adaware) both
have been updated and have shown nothing. I emailed microsoft about this
problem they sad to restart in safemode and delete the file, which i did but
it comes back

It looks like the file is created before i reboot some of the time. im lost
and starting to get anoyed with it. any help would be great thanks

I think its solved, i ran spybot search and destroy and removed a bunch of
spywear, thanks for the help
