Hi everyone. I've noticed a new folder created on November 16, 2006 called
c:/temp. Inside this folder is a folder called FixEngine which is empty. I
have found no information yet on Microsoft.com website about it's creation.
Does anyone know what created these folders and is it safe to delete c:/temp
or c:temp/FixEngine.

You¹ve landed in a Mac Office group. Sorry, you'll have to ask somewhere
else--I assume a Windows forum.

That's likely a Virus. The Windows Temp directory is not in the root of the
C drive, and hasn't been for years.
