Fw: [Techtalk] undeletable files

[Devdas Bhagat]

I talked to a friend at ev1. He says there is no such employee there.
Also, the headers appear to indicate some name spoofing.

(Before anyone else responds with flames for asking a Windows question)

Apologies for the length of the mail.

I have nearly 50 files that have been dropped on my slave drive with strange symbols.  Two examples:   "911.req.ues"   and  "we'll.hel".  I cannot delete these files. I am running XP  pro with DSL.   Has someone hacked into my system?   Any suggestions on how to remove without formatting the entire drive?
