RE: Weird files in c://
These files may have stuff to do with the system do not remove them. your best bet is to run some scanning programs.

RE: Weird files in c://
You are referring to the ones that are grayed a little? Those are hidden files, you probably switched on to show hidden files.

RE: Weird files in c://
- "Msdos.---" => can be safely be deleted...
- "npd*.*" => seems like some misplaced driver things...
- "welcome.dll" => Welcome plugin for plus!. The dll can be placed in the plugins directory instead of here: unregister the dll here, move it to the plugins folder, register it again there.
- "welcome.wav" => Welcome plugin for plus!. Actual soundfile. Must be in here...
- "dblspace.*" => do not touch this unless you want to screw all your data
- "drvspace.*" => do not touch this unless you want to screw all your data
- "contactspy.*" => website link, can be deleted safely (doing dodgy things hu?)
- "Asd.*" => website link, can be deleted safely
- "scandisk.*" => website link, can be deleted safely
- "winzip.*" => website link, can be deleted safely
- "detlog.old" => can be safely be deleted
- "bootlog.*" => can be safely be deleted

- "autoexec.bat" => do not touch this unless you want to screw up windows a bit
- "config.sys" => do not touch this unless you want to screw up windows a bit
- "io.sys" => do not touch this unless you want to screw up windows a bit
- "logo.sys" => do not touch this unless you want to screw up windows a bit

ACcording to google, GoBackio.bin has to do with Roxio's BoBack software, I wouldn't reccomend deleting it as it most likely will screw up that program.

RE: Weird files in c://
"Start" > "Run" > "regsvr32 /u c:\welcome.dll" should do it i guess.
To register it again, regsvr32 do "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins\welcome.dll" depending on where you installed Plus! ofcourse.
