Another large group of temp files where Trojans reside

Please add this path to the cleaning job. I found this path because a trojan was residing here and I could not find the source.

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp

 

I would also suggest the ability of the user to add path to the cleaning, such as above.

+1 (unless someone can think of a valid reason not to clean this temp path)

 

And I think he meant "add to ccleaner" not "manually" add the path.

But yes in the meantime you can manually add the path.

 

Note: The path Doesnt seem to exist in Win 7 RC.

I thought the OP meant both :)

 

Mine's nearly empty. I suspect it's a location that doesn't get regularly used. If it was I'd be worried ... it seems to be sort of a 'dummy profile copy'. But its existence would seem to make it a good place for hiding undesirables ... so I agree that it makes sense to clean it.
