if it's in the temp folder, it's safe to remove. that is, if you did not install apps under the said folder. if some programs are still requiring those files you mentioned, chances are, you are still infected. i suggest you update you anti-virus pattern file run a full scan (scan ALL files). check also for spyware/adware/malware infections.

hope this helps. peace!

How do I find and delete files or programs that have been put on my pc from the internet without my permission. An example would be Incredimail.

I have browsed using the find routines but could not recognize anything. I tried looking at "properties" of files and the date created but could find nothing.

Thanks for your help.

usually programs that get installed on your pc without you permission, is called spyware, adware. You can download a spyware removal tool that might help. I use Spybot-search and destroy. it is a free download.

Hello Alizabeth,

Those two are there as a result of spyware/virus in the first place. So why you want to download them somewhere? I would even say, wipe the \temp\ directory clean if you do not know any thing you specifically store there.
