is there a program that can watch a folder to see whan a file is added and what program just created that file? Some where i have a trojen that microsoft said but i think it's a worm that keeps creating files on my hard drive and using up my memory. i shut down the file and it reopens and masks it's self as a Iexplorer.exe file but i can't find what program keeps creating the EXE files that keep screwing things up. i eventualy get it to stop long enough to delete the added EXE file and an hour later it creates another 1 in a diffrint name. can any one help me find that program? i used all the latest programs to find it but none help :(

If you have an antivirus program, go into safe mode and run it.
To get into Safe Mode, Restart -- as soon as you see that the memory is being checked - before Windows loads, hold down the F8 key and keep it down until you get a menu which gives you the option of going into Safe Mode.

just scan your PC using an anti virus utility such as Norton or Mcafee and they will find the culprit and remove it for you, also make sure your anti virus utility virus definitions a updated, good luck.

Format the hard drive and be done with it.
