Boot to Safe Mode and then clear your Temporary Internet Cache using the
GUI provided, Control Panel | Internet Options | General | Delete Files,
check the box "Delete all offline content" and then click OK and then
Apply. This should clear your cache including the various sub-folders
which are created in groups of four in the folder Content.IE5. Clear the
cache this way as this method deleted some files that are hidden when the
cache is viewed using Windows Explorer.
When you've cleared the cache check your system again for unwanted
malware.

I have a subfolder under WindowsTemporary Internet Files folder
which is titled: "Content.IE5".
Under this folder are several other subfolders with odd names such as
OZ4RM101, GLIFSLAJ,SVT8UAFB, etc....the files in these have a
variety of extensions such as .js .jpg .gif .htm etc....
Can I simply delete all these CONTENT.IE5 subfolders without loss of
important data and/or programs?
They arent deleted when I delete my tIF files via Inernet
Explorer--Delete files
Over the past two nights, I have gotten several Alwayup.Trojan alerts
from my Norton AntiVirus. the "infecting" files have 0 bytes and I
simply selete them manually.
But it might be a good idea to simply delete all those subfolders
within CONTENT.IE5. Are they disposable?
Thanks in advance:
