    Some Files my Antivirus programme can't scan


    Hi
    I have eight files on my system (Windows 7) that my Antivirus programme cannot scan.

    They all begin with C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\SafeOS\SafeOS.Mount\Windows\.........

    This is the first one
    C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\SafeOS\SafeOS.Mount\Windows\Boot\PXE\abortpxe.com

    Are these a problem and do I need them? If not how do I dump them?

    Thanks Maxie - that sets my mind at rest. I'm using Avast also. Much appreciated.
