Hate to say this, that's not normal. The only thing put on the root of c: is log files and usually only 2 of them. If you are getting these, then
[list=1][*]An installed program is doing this[*]A virus[*]A hacker[*]Microsoft[*]The boogie man :)[/list=1]
Scan for viruses first, if none are found, check for trojans, strange installed services or programs using the root as a dump for tmp files.

"A friend of mine" had the EXACT same problem. It appeared after downloading and installing Norton Anti-Virus 2001 from a WaReZ site..
