| 294541 | 2004-11-21 04:24:00 | Hi, I run XP SP2 and notice that doing AVG or Ad-Aware scans take extraordinarally long when they hit this directory- C\Documents + Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp. Internet Files\Content.IE5\ and then I wait for an hour or more as there are over 40 folders to scan. I only saw them under Custom Scan with AVG but when I try to find these folders under windows all I can find is C\Windows\Temp\Temp. Internet Files\Content.IE5\ and then only 4 folders and an Index.dat file. My question is, can I Un-Hide these 40-odd folders and safely delete them or are they hidden so I cant do that? Thanks for your help, Glenn |

| 294544 | 2004-11-26 10:13:00 | Does the program clean out the hidden cache of temp files, that you don't usually access? I have been getting up and running, a friends puter and it has heaps of hidden ie temp files in a folder that I can't delete, so was wondering if this program will do it, or I have to go to the trick I used awhile ago using smtdrv. | supergran (108) | ||
