Hi mimo2005, These are hidden system files used by windows when you need to uninstall a program. To see them you need to open windows explorer in the Tools - Folder Options - view tab click "Show hidden files and folders" and unclick the "Hide protected and operating system files (recommended)" These files are protected so cannot be opened normally as a security precaution.

thnx for the quick reply so my question now , are they infected ? that s why they are locked ? or they are not infected and they are only locked because they belong to the windows system ?
Yes, I doubt very much that they are infected They are locked for system protection / integrity. When you run a full scan with TDS3 you should enable every option in scan control - Scan options and in Generic enable both and push the slider to it's max setting. Ensure that you have the latest radius file from here: http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=update Follow the Manual update instructions on that page. Note: Before doing a full scan it is better to completely disable your resident Anti virus scanner and you can always run the scan from Safe mode if necessary. HTH Pilli
