Deleting temporary folder

[Ariel]

Is it safe to delete everything in C:\Documents and settings\Profile name
\Local settings\Temp? My viruschecker always finds something in there upon
boot up.

Thanks

Hi

What is your AV program finding in that folder? You ought to try and delete
any virus first, then the files in that folder can be deleted.

It's finding "randreco.exe" wich is easily deletable but shows up again on
next boot. I'm using f-prot. I've checked the registry but no sign of it
there.

thanks for reply

Hi

You may be able to delete it, but why is it turning up on every reboot? Try
an online scan for a 2nd opinion:

Hi, Panda found additiona files but still didn't eliminate randreco.exe.
I'm so frustrated. I ran Symantec's and Trend Micro online scanners and
even they couldn't get rid of it.

Thanks for your help but I couldn't find any conclusive solution. Don't know
what to do next.

Thanks again.
