What are these files? Okay to delete?

[STC]

I have some files on my C: w/ weird extensions like .6, .7, .3, and .4. I did a quick google search and saw that these number extensions are associated w/:

• IBM Voice Type Language Script Data File
• Salt Lake City Game Music File
• Screen
• Solaris Device Config Assistant Boot Diskette
• Unknown Apple II file

And the thing is I don't have any of these and I would remember installing something like this.

I also have 3 weird named folders like s514.1 w/ folders inside w/ ridiculously long names like 131d6187xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and inside those I have more of these ridiculously long file names and Quicktime preference files. All were created on the beginning of this yr,and I have had this machine for 3 years or so.

I have QT and iTunes installed on this machine, but on my other machine w/ QT and iTunes I do not have any of these types of files and folders.

Also I opened up the "Medion.ini" via Notepad and the shows:
[Result]
Result=0

Anyone know what these are? Can I delete all of them?

If I am not mistaken they are files that were corrupted, if the computer is able to fix them it should delete them automatically. What I would do is back them up on a flash drive, and then delete them from the computer and then reboot.

What happens is if a file or folder becomes corrupted, windows will create a backup of it to be fixed, and is supposed to fix it and delete the copy that has the .1-.9 extension. Sounds like your computer didn't finish the process.

I would run some AV procedures with:

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows
• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

and then run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html.

Please post back your results.

I ran TDSKiller and MSE. Nothing found.
I also made a backup of those files and deleted them from C: and rebooted. No probs so far!

Thx guys!!

That's good to hear, can you now run the System File Checker to scan for any corrupted files:
