| 274673 | 2004-09-22 22:13:00 | Basically, there are files in your temp directory that have a weakness in them that can be exploited. As your temp folder is only used like you would a notepad., just as a temporary place while something else happens. For example, quite often windows unzips compressed files in here before installing. It is usually filled with leftovers and all files can be safely be removed. An easy program that will clean it out, and also other "space wasters" is Ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). |

| 274674 | 2004-09-22 22:55:00 | Sorry for taking so long to reply to your help request Katimike, but Pheonix has answered anyway and I agree with him. An interesting point you have made through, what pcpitstop scan picked up is not a virus more of an exploit or weakness, which has since been patched in at least in Internet Explorer and also Firefox. Another good reason to keep uptodate with updates |
