Mow,

... if there are more than 4 subfolders
for CONTENT.IE5, than the malware has damaged IE's system or
installation files. Running IE's Repair Tool while in Safe Mode will
rectify this.

I'm sorry to have to correct you but that is incorrect. The sub-folders
are created in groups of four with the total number depending on the
current size of the cache with a new set of four being spawned for roughly
each 50MB of cache. I may have the wrong size (50MB) as it is a long time
since I played with TIF and since I limit my cache to 25MB in total am
never likely to see more than the four sub-folders but I can assure you
that having more than four sub-folders is not of itself an indication of a
TIF damaged by malware.
