NAV 2003 up to date sigs.
No virus found.
However, clean sweep constantly (on boot) deletes everything then,
48Kb reapears immediately as available for deletion.

If I delete it manually - it also re-appears.
It appears to be something to do with internet history.

I am not convinced as it only appeard about a week ago.
I run cleansweep everytime I boot so am quite familiar with the all
files cleared / 0kb can be removed which now constantly gets reset to
48kb.

?, to my knowledge, your only post to this thread prior to this was
"And".

And my reply was - And I am asking advice, - it is very annoying.
My further reply is - It is still annoying that this 48Kb is still
there and as for RTFM - there is NFM suitable. GBYFH.

Sorry about the just sent message - didnt follow the thread properly

Please forgive my unhelpful / agressive reply.

Index.dat for a particular user will be reset to 'empty' (~48k) as soon
as the user logs on, if it does not already exist. At the same time all
temporary index files are deleted.

The cookies version works differently - if it doesn't exist, the
existing cookies are used to build a new one, so the size depends on
what cookies are around.

I'm not sure what happens with the 'history' version, but it'll be one
of those two things for sure.

Note that each user has (normally) all three index.dat's, and you can't
delete them for the currently logged on user (but an admin can delete
someone else's).

Tight ass. Just take the "advice" or ignore it.
Otherwise you might be infected with the RTFM.but virus.

They are continually taunting him ~ please make them stop!!

I think this is a question for the "Clean Sweep" support people.
The major concern is that "Clean Sweep" is doing something
different than it had in the past for this user.
