1.	Solve : s3vs8b9b & s3vseeh3 on C-Drice?
Answer» I found s3vs8b9b & s3vseeh3 as files on my C-Drive with no extension -- not hidden either. They each consumed 61.2 MB's. Using 'details' in the view menu, I ascertained they were probably put on my hard drive in July 2005. I didn't notice them until 23 Aug 05. They won't open in Word or Word Pad and I can't find any information from google, Symantec or anywhere. I run Windows 98SE, with NAV, NPF, Ad-aware, Spybot S &D, SpyCop, Pest PATROL and CWShredder -- all of which are updated FREQUENTLY and configured correctly. None of them came up with ANYTHING during several scans and Windows Updates. I copied the files to an Iomega 250 Zip disk and deleted them from my hard drive. There has not been any obvious problems up to now. I also hadn't noticed any problems before I deleted them. I also ran Norton WinDoctor and found no lost connection to the Registry. What could have possibly put these two files on my hard drive and what are they? ThanksThey might be temporary files for a certain program. Quote What could have possibly put these two files on my hard drive and what are they? Ummmmm - spyware, virus goodies, or similar come to mind. SOMETHING you clicked on because it looked like an enticing link and took you to a web page and downloaded ActiveX oatmeal onto your drive? S3 screams of video to me. Thanks to all that replied. It's pretty obvious that whatever put that on my C-Drive didn't do any damage or CAUSE problems. Deleting both files simply eliminated them and freed the many MB's being consumed without any problems. Apparently, it was some type of Video or ActiveX files for temporary storage. Thanks again for the responses.
