This might sound silly but i dont think they exist, i cant find them anywhere and some of them i dont even think ive downloaded :(
Anyway i think theyll be ok becuase theyre files that cant really become infected, i mean .m3u (which is a playlist i think) isnt able to be infected....
So am i all clear?!

Try a registry cleaner, perhaps they're broken entries of some sort..

    Ok i looked at that log and it made me remember that a while back I 'accuired' Rihanna's album (it's WinRar'd), i went to where the album was located and sure enough all the file names in the log are the same as the ones in the Rar file. But its funny because there are alot of other Rar'd files in that directory and they scan fine.

    Thanks anyway Raptor, sorted it, still a bit weried though that it wont scan Rihanna but will the others. Just one of those things i guess..
    Again thanks anyway.

                  Mainly becuase i would prefer to find the problem and find a fix for it without having to format and lose everything, just seems a bit lazy to me.
                  I know i could back up everything but like i said i would prefer to find the problem and fix it myself so i know for next time.

                  Reformatting everytime something goes wrong is the granny way of resolving this.

                  But if your security has been compromised to a point where you can no longer trust your Windows installation, it is the best option in my eyes.

                  Me personally i would boot into safemode and delete anything that relates to Rhianna just to be safe.
