My system info:

McAfee Anti-Virus

Dell Dimension 4100 Series
Pentium III at 933 MHz
128 SDRAM at 133 MHz
20.4 GB 7200 rpm Hard-drive
Windows ME
Word 2000 SR-1

Problem:
My Temp Folder is filled recently with over 100 temp files that I cannot delete, with the following properties:
--Temp files
--Listed as opening with Paint Shop Pro
--Date created is listed as when I turn on the computer
--0 bytes
--Files names like: CSFF7938C1-6544-4536-BA7C-00F9FD34CA6
--Attributes: Hidden, Archive

When I try to delete any of the files, the following message appears:
Cannot delete (file name): Access is denied. The source file may be in use.

I tried to delete them by changing the attributes, then tried in Safe Mode, without success. The first attempt in Safe Mode showed that I deleted about twenty similar files, but when I restarted in normal mode, all of the files were back in the Temp Folder.

I've run the following scans:
McAfee Anti-Virus
CWS Shredder
Spybot
Ad-Aware
Spy Sweeper

The following message appears sometimes after closing other applications:
Mcupdate (McAfee Antivirus Update) has caused an error in Kernel 32.DLL.
Mcupdate will now close.

Thank you for your help!
