Please identify Unknown folder

[Blo]

I have noticed this folder - C:\7d5f66100f81e0e2293bba802d41\update ...Could anyone tell me if i could delete the file, folder or both, as i am fully up-to-date with all windows updates.
... I'm suspicious that it's an update i put there by mistake - in fact, it may even be a win 98 update i was downloading for a neighbours PC.
Any help on the issue will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks. BLO.

it doesnt look like a good folder
what is in the folder

and do this

Please do this. Click here: http://www.sherrylynn.us/HijackThis.exe to download Hijack This. Save it to itÂ’s own folder (not temporary files or the desktop).
Close all open windows and open HIJACK THIS. Click “Scan”. When the scan is finished (it only takes a second), the scan button will change to “Save Log”. Click on “Save Log” and save it to NotePad. Copy the entire log and paste it here.

DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET, most items that appear in the log are harmless or even needed. Wait for someone to analyze the scan and advise.

Many Thanks, Blo.

[cheerios]

looks more like a virus

 

[man_in_the_b0x]

When you go to the WindowsUpdate website and you update your Windows S.O. it creates that folder (with a random name).
It's a temporary folder to where the update utiliy downloads the updates. But it never (or almost never) deletes it. So you're free to delete that folder. Sometimes it doesn't allow you to delete it on WinXP. That I couldn't figure it out...yet.

I'm waiting on a reply from 'LobosBlanco'...
I'm getting a bit nervous now, because LobosBlanco requested me run the above program http://www.sherrylynn.us/HijackThis.exe ... and the results are displayed above... However, You are all replying to me - giving me advice, and i've only just noticed the name of the program... HIJACK THIS... that doesn't sound good, does it !
I'm waiting patiently... On LobosBlanco... for now !
Many thanks, Blo.

 

[Lobos]

no i dont see anything wrong with your log
i know the name doesn't sound good but its a good diagnosing program

of course you dont have your whole log there

but what i see nothing wrong with your log

as man in the box said it could be a update of some kind

if you right click on the file what do the properties say

 

[Blo]

I'm sorry for doubting such a 'Diamond of a program'... It's obviously a good tool - to a person who knows how to use it! (not me)...
There is nothing actually in the folder, only a date of - 08 March 2004, 10:08:37 - (folder properties) when it was created...
If we decide to delete it, and store it in the recycle bin, then should i check whether it's refered to in the registry...
I won't do anything with it until you reply.

 

[Lobos]

id say delete it you can always restore it

 

[Lobos]

is your computer running fine

i mean besides wondering what that folder is
