Weird files.

So I seem to have an issue, I think.

Inside my C: drive, there are a couple of folders, and they have some crazy names.

One is named this: 9a80d3361bcadc939eeffaa

They all contain this. 9a80d3361bcadc939eeffaa/sp1/update/ and two files that wont work.

they might be update folders created by windows. I know I have come accross folders like that after and update, sometimes they go away or I just make them go away

I just installed internet explorer 7 RC1 and it made a folder just like that....I just killed it.
