_60c11ac7.exe & _42fe7987.exe part of Defender update?

[EApplegate]

Excuse the crosspost, but I need as much input as I can get since I
uninstalled the old MS Giant Anti-Spyware for the new Windows Defender.



I just found these files in my Documents and Settings area:


_60c11ac7.exe

c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Installer
\{76EFAC4F-1712-401F-B2AE-590B170C9BCE}



& _42fe7987.exe


c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Installer
\{1B485419-875B-428D-816B-2F6627815D7A}



Anything to be alarmed about? They are 1 and 2 kb in size.

there was a phrase someone used to use in situations like this - i have
a mostly yellow painting, do you think it's a picaso?

it's generally not possible to diagnose problems just from filenames
alone... if you think they might be malware, scan your drive with some
anti-malware product... if you think they might be malware you
anti-malware product can't detect, try a different product or send a
sample to your product's vendor for analysis...

you could also try uploading them to virustotal
