Sounds like you've been hacked.  I had this once (very quickly got a
better means of protection).  Inside that directory are warez or music
or something.  I don't recall exactly what I did to get rid of it, but I
ended up getting FlashEXP (an FTP client) which could see the hidden
character in the directory name, and thus could delete it.

A google / deja search turned up hacking instructions to create it, and
also some instructions to delete it.

The bigger problem is that there is now probably something vicious on
that box, giving folks the ability to use you as a file store.  I used a
software firewall to quickly close the box down, while I could invest in
hardwall firewall.

Good luck.

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: strange directory


Hello all,

Excuse me for asking an OT topic. It appeared in my server a directory a
strange directory called (let�s say) unknown. When I try to delete it
windows tells me "The file unknown can�t be delete. The file can�t be
found". Any idea? Thanks in advance

Roberto
