_vti_cnf

Anyone else have a problem with this. It might be a virus. I started noticing a folder named "_vti_cnf" in almost every folder on my hard drive. So i did a search on my computer for all files and folders for the above name and currently its at 341 files of exactly the same name and all of them created within 5 minutes of each other. So on 5/12/2005 at 11:25-11:30 a shit load of files were created with the exact same items inside of the folders. Inside each one is a configuration file called Desktop and 4 invalid shortcuts. inside the config file it reads:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
vti_timelastmodified:TR|14 Dec 2004 10:37:02 -0000
vti_extenderversion:SR|4.0.2.6513
vti_cacheddtm:TX|14 Dec 2004 10:37:02 -0000
vti_filesize:IR|292

Ive never come across this before and when doing a search on google or msn for it it just comes up a bunch of servers directories. Totally clueless as to what could have caused this. Has anyone had this before. Shit spread faster then herpes.
