    Was searching my computer to make sure I got rid of all the virus and ran across a bunch of these with different numbers in my C drive under windows file. Anyone know what these are and if I can delete them?
    Thanks

    Sounds like your running Windows XP? I believe those are part of the Windows Update installations. I don't think I'd delete them.

  3. These are hotfix unistall files:

    In addition to the removal process shown in this article, Ccleaner will also remove them on an automated basis. It is available at www.ccleaner.com

    I use it every couple of months after the need to uninstall a hotfix seems to have passed.

    I use ccleaner regularly, but it doesn't get rid of those. Haven't had time to check out the link you posted, but will do soon. Thanks again for all your help!

  5. Do you have the box checked for CCleaner to remove "hotfix uninstallers"?

    If not, it won't remove them.

    I have it checked . . . No hotfix uninstallers left anywhere.
