recurring data minor

[ADoozer]

hey guys. hopefully a simple one.

i run spybot adaware cwshredder on a weekly basis, and despite latest definitions. always adaware finds between 3 and 12 new data minor files.

is it possible for me to get info on these pesky little sods and delete whatever keeps making them?

any input welcome (more info to follow if necessary)

thnx
