Hello

Found this folder which has appeared on my PC:

C:\4d50f6fce05fff35af56761e5238\update\

contains one file, setup.exe

Looks like some nasty malware to me. Anyone able to shed any light on this?

Thanks

might actually be a Windows patch that either was interrupted during setup, or didn't delete the temp folder it used after running. did you run windows update recently or downloaded a patch and installed it on your own?

but you could also be right about this being malware...i'd do some scans just to be safe.

thanks bernard.

I didn't think windows updates set up from the root folder. Could be wrong. But no, I haven't run windows update or any other update that I can think of, and it is a new install of windows.

I have done a spyware scan and nothing, so maybe nothing to worry about.

Just noticed a similar folder and subfolder too after showing hidden files and folders. I am sure it is harmless as I'm a "safe surfer" normally. I've deleted them.

Mine wasn't hidden. Must be some MS thing if we all have it. I hope!
