Suspicious.AD

On my Symantec Start-Up scan I get over 7000 suspicious.AD files shown as a possible threat and cleaned. At the finish of the scan I reboot as directed.  The next day the start-up scan again shows over 7000 Suspicious.AD files.  These are all in Windows/Temp.  Why does this keep coming up after they have been cleaned and why after several year am I getting all of these threats?  Thanks
