What are these??

Whilst running a virus scan I noticed these files appearing but they were not
flagged by my AV (Panda Titanium 2004). I checked through Explorer and found
the folloeing (empty) folders. I Googled some of the names but the websites
on Google were all foreign. Is it OK to delete them?
PUTA!!.EXE
HACKE!.EXE
ALEVIR.EXE
MSTASK.EXE
SCRSVR.EXE
SRV32.EXE
INSTIT.BAT

Any help would be very welcome

Colin.

Thanks for both replies, much appreciated. I had googled the first two (all
foreign language sites) and gave up. I had ran a removal utility called
"Opastool" a while ago, this might be why the folders were empty? Also
searched the registry, win.ini , boot.ini and startup in msconfig - all
clean. Thanks again.
