Lately, my PC has been going down a little to frequently, usualy with the message, that it misses an *.vxd file. The error is not reprodusable. I have discoveres that everytime I even restart my computer, strange files and directories are created in my "windows\help" directory. Over an unknown period of time (I don't know when the problem started) it created more than 22 mb worth of trash in unexecuteble files, and empty directories, that I still wasn't allowed to delete. After finaly through the DOS promt removing _all_ files from the directory, and the having the computer shut down (power out) and restarted, these files had been created in the directory: Ooaa8qab.ese ahhswuic.8xh cebxkgei.qrg gybbwc-.cx0 yuch4fdr.0jf Zs24o6gi.d3I An avp-scan came up with the followin (from report.txt): ------ AVP32 Scan 27-10-1998 08.42.11 C:\Programmer\FοΏ½lles filer\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO3032.DLL corrupted.

Could any of you wise fellows help me narrow down, if I have a virus-, a software-, or a hardware problem? -- Morten Borgesen To reply: Remove one '@" (Win95/IE4/OE)
