Strange Files on PC

[Big Black Stilo]

Why does my pc have files on it with dates that havent happened yet? They all us symbols in the file name and not a type I recognise. Find them very quirky. The first I found was created 28/02/2014 00:12 modified 28/02/2014 00:36.

My old PC has them on too- just booted it up (not use for 2 years) and that has one on to! created in 2035

anyone else got anything or heard anything about these? Will check the mac for some later to see if its just windows (I use Millenium on the PC and old pc was 95 Compaq edition)

Put the file names into google and see what you find?

Strange, came on PC and search thing wont work.

Anyone tried this?

Just use search for files and folders created between 06/01/06 and 01/01/2099 and see what it brings up

not tried the mac yet

Just done that very search, including all hidden and system folders - and got no results, as expected

A quick scout on google i found its quite common- especially in networks and things. AT&T had a problem with it

Maybe your two year old PC's MOBO's battery has packed in or the Windows install has been corrupted somehow.
