In WinXP Pro, in the process of getting rid of a trojan (NoClose) I went to
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
to look for a file that was reportedly there. There was also reportedly (by
McAfee Viruscan) a sub folder called IE5.
Using windows explorer, set to view hidden and system files, there was no
such (IE5) folder. I deleted everything in the Temporary Internet Files
folder. After this it appeared empty in Windows Explorer.
When I directed Viruscan to scan this same folder it came up with the IE5
subfolder, and 10s of thousands of files to scan.
What gives here? Is Windows Explorer still hiding folders and files?
Anyone know?
