| 639703 | 2008-02-12 07:54:00 | Just discovered that there is a 'weird' folder named E:\07d96c5b6dba0692aca3217b7d179b4f, with a sub-folder called 'wcu'. This folder contains about 170+ files of about 16 MB. The sub-folder, 'wcu' is access denied, I can't see what are the contents. I have 2 HDDs in this machine - HDD 1 : C: & D (OS installed in C:) and HDD 2: E:\ I don't remember I've ever created this folder at all. Any clues ? |

| 639708 | 2008-02-12 08:27:00 | Should be ok to delete it if you can, looks like it has something to do with visual studio or something. Or an update for it. Or one of these programs (support.microsoft.com) Probably a .net update. |

I also notice that there is a file named 'DeleteTemp.exe' in the folder; do you think that it is safe to run this file? |
