I find it very telling that it's every "index.C" that is getting corrupted, 
when ".C" is the extension used for C source code.  My shot-in-the-dark 
guess is something is going through all the files on the system, and doing 
"something" to *.C files.  (Rather than uninstalling the AV program, I would 
have suggested making sure it's up-to-date, and then running a full system 
scan.)

What if you were to create a "screen.C" screen somewhere, just as a test? 
(And then make a copy called "screen_c.save".)  Does that file get corrupted 
as well?  Does it no longer match the saved copy?  If something corrupts 
screen.C as well, zip it up, along with the saved original, and post it 
here.  (I suggest the screen, rather than an index, only because the index 
is likely much larger.)
