Question about 'Clean up your hard disk'

While looking for files to cleanup my drive, I found a series of files created daily
that contain what looks like memory address and URL's visited from my system. The
files are very large. The are created in the following folder.
c:\windows\all users\application data\microsoft\office search services\indexingservice\gatherlogs\system.1.gthr
and system.2.gthr and so on.
Can the files be deleted? and how/why are they created. How can it be stopped.
I don't have any office products on this PC.
There are 102 of these files, like I say on a day.

Steve; Basically someone IS spying on you, you can look in rstrlog.dll and rstrmap.dll
too. Try running Ad-aware 5.62 on your system and see if it deletes these file caches
on your system, then add SpyBlocker 4.75 and WebWasher 3.0. If you haven't done so
already check out MS KB articles Q149083 and Q 145799. Ian chattan@ worldonline.be

Windows ME... wow... I found 10 gigabytes worth of logs on the C: drive, searched
on "GatherLogs" and when I attempted to uninstall it from Word it wouldn't. Had
to go to Add/Remove programs to remove it. Man oh man what a useless feature.
There's a whole book from O'Reilly about how "special" winME is ...
