So I did as you suggested and downloaded WhoLockedMe. When a file
loced up I ran it and got the following


Locker Name PID Opened File Handle Domain User
System 0x000... C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\DCN.rar 0x05C4 NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM
System 0x000... C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\DCN.rar 0x5B9C NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM
System 0x000... C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\DCN.rar 0x5BD0 NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM
System 0x000... C:\Documents and Settings\All

Users\Desktop\DCN.rar 0x6B68 NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM
System 0x000... C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\DCN.rar 0x6E34 NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM



What does this mean?
