Weird files created in root folder when downloading mail

[shomari]

Recently I've been getting weird files in the root of drive c whenever
I open Outlook 2003 and start downloading mail. Today the files are
named s3us.x where x is 1 to 9 and a to v then starting over with 11.
For example:
s3us.1
s3us.2
s3us.3
....
s3us.9
s3us.a
s3us.b
....
s3us.v
s3us.11
s3us.12

The files cannot be accessed while outlook is open. After closing
outlook I still couldn't access my mail and took a guess and killed
ccApp.exe. After killing that program I was able to access the files.

I've opened a few files with text editors and the contents resembles my
mail. Any suggestions on what is causing this? Is it Norton? Outlook?

Thanks,
Shomari


Here is the contents of one file. I've removed the actual email

ccApp is Symantec's Common Client application. As a quick test, turn off
email virus scanning and see if the files get created while downloading
mail.

Thanks... I tried that and it seems that Norton is creating those
files. I just have to find out why this is happening now. I am using
Symantec AntiVirus 2004 Corporate Edition. Outlook 2003 is only for my
personal email.
