Default C:\_restore\temp

Ok.. basicly my brother uses IE, I don't know why we have Mozilla,

Anyway we have over 100virues and the majority of them are in this folder,they're all disabled but eating my disk space up, 2.35gig so what I'm asking is, is there a a program that'll get with of them AVG finds them but can't delete them, or can I delete them all

Many thanks
Hellfire.

Well use that AVG program and let it tell you what is a virus and even if the program wont uninstall them for you , you can do it manually. Also it wouldnt hurt to get lavasoft's adaware. adaware make sure to update the spyware definitions if you download it.

Why not try a program called "Antiy Ghostbusters". The only problem is you will need to register (which may cost) or download the licence file off somewhere like www.keygen.us.
