Why are files being deleted?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I frequently spot a pop-up window titled "Deleting Files", which appears for
only a second or two. Files which are being deleted are flashed so quickly
that I can't determine what they are. Afterwards there is some corruption,
the extent of which I haven't determined, except that my Connection Settings
for MSN9 Dial-up are clobbered, and I can't get online. I've been
successfully recovering from this situation by doing a System Restore, which
has been working well for the past two months, but I need to determine what
can be done to resolve the problem. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

What do your antivirus and anti spyware programs tell you when you run them?
Which ones do you run? Are they 100% up-to-date?

I keep Ad-Aware SE Personal and Norton Antivirus 2005 up-to-date, and run
each frequently. Also run RegistryRepair Pro, and Windows Clean-Up Pro
frequently. Nothing significant has been revealed by any of these programs
during the two-month period that I've been encountering subject problem.
Thanks for your interest.
