I have many folders in my C:\Windows directory with names such as "06BHNSX27DJOTY39". There may be around 1000 of these folders and they are all empty (no hidden files). I want to know why they are being created. I want to delete them but they are all locked by Explorer.exe (even folders created back in 2006). Sorting the folders by date I see that many of these folders are being created each day, and each folder has a random name such as the example above.
So, can anyone tell me what may be creating these folders and why can't I delete them? It seems abnormal that they are present and being created each day and are empty. There are so many of them it makes it difficult to find other files and folders in the Windows directory.
I am running Windows XP SP3 and running McAfee Enterprise Antivirus software.
