temp folder in Doc and Setting...

Leesburg, FL(Zone 9b)

I can delete all the contents, right?

I found a trojan in the documents and setting / local settings / Temp

nice the way they "hide" that folder .... but the trojan has been deleted... there's a lot of other stuff in there... but it's OK to delete right? since it's a temp folder?

The past few days, i've been getting this pop up stating that "Locust" [either didnt' load properly or was not working properly] had failed. Well, i'd never head it of it... I even googled locust.exe and nothing.

I had unchecked some items in start-up and the pop up did not come back... until yesterday. So this morning - when i saw it again... i clicked the 'show me details' [or what ever that link says] and it shows a file name of [a bunch of numbers] win_update.exe

but that is what the AV found this morning... too bad it didnt find it when i got it on Sunday... but it never fully executed as the AV did block that much of it. anyhoo.... it was in that folder, again, nicely hidden.
