For the past day my computer has been going slow and acting wierd. I ran Mcaffee virus scan, Bazooka, Ad-aware,Spybot,WIndows Defender, HI Jack This, and Spy Catcher, and nothing was found. I turned on my computer this morning, after an improper turn off, and it scanned for constinsey. It found 5 orphaned files, fixed them, and now it works fine. What do orphaned files mean?
My computer had orphaned files. What does that mean?virus protection
I got the following information from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q202154/
--------------------------------------...
An orphaned file is a file in a web that is not linked to any other file in the web. An orphaned file can be any type of file, such as an HTML document, an image, or a binary data file.
An orphaned file is not an unlinked file. There may be multiple links among a whole web of orphaned files. What makes a file an orphaned file is that by following any and all hyperlinks present in the home page, and then following any and all hyperlinks from all subsequent link levels reached from the home page, the orphaned file is not reachable.

This is the link to the Yahoo search results for orphaned files. http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-...
I hope this helps. Good luck!!
