Last night I found two strange files in my computer. One file was named "Chkdsk.exe" and was on the root of the C drive. The other file was hidden and was called "Database.db" and was located in my down load folder. Both files were created in the last 3 weeks. Both files are zero in size - completely empty.

The chkdsk.exe may have been created when I ran chkdsk /r.

Anyone have any idea what they are and how they got there and if they are safe to delete?

Thanks a lot.
