This isn't making any sense. All these folders and files should have easily been removed by AVG A-S as well as SmitfraudFix.

ComboScan, AVG A-S and Panda only report what they see on the system--they are there.

They were all created within minutes of each other around 11pm on 1/17/2007.

All these folders are roughly the same small size--not normal for the actual malware folder.

The files possibly cannot be removed by Smitfraud because they may in fact be folders placed by an anti malware tool in order to thwart the 'real' malware from infecting the system.

Can you think of any so-called anti malware tool you or someone else may have used around that time on that date? Mwav, maybe?
