These are files locked by windows.  You must have removed the default 
filters which normally ignore these files.  Calmwin is just a scanner and 
has no service running at a higher permission level to scan these files.

If you really want to scan these files, boot the system from a bootable CD 
and then scan the entire hard drive.
