The mysterious re-appearing scandisk error

[Guest]

Hi, On my Friends computer I can find a error file with scandisk everytime I re-boot. I then delete the file, re-scan and it's gone. I then Re-boot and another variation of the filename re-appears. The file is sometimes
??werpnt.!~! or ?7werpnt.!?! This file looks like a powerpoint file but he doesn't have that app installed. Could this be a temp file that WinMe is using then deleting? He did a total low level format and re-installed WinMe but still has this problem. I haven't flashed the bios but I did clear it by re-moving the battery. I can't find any negative effects from this but it is annoying.

Have you run a virus scanner as this could be a virus - try www.downloads.com and then scan the hard disk, the fact it is repeating itself and reapearing is suspicious
