From: Netman on 9 Mar 2010 13:00 Hello! I have noticed some strange folders on my usb harddrive Some of these folders cannot be deleted. One of them named: "9b2529692949a1396c06b567" has subfolders 1025 1028 1029 ..... 2070 3076 3082 Every of these folders contains files: "eula.rtf" and "HotFixInstallerUI.dll" The subfolder "1033" contains "eula.rtf" file which has the following information: "PLEASE NOTE: Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) licenses this supplement to you. You may use it with each validly licensed copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, or Microsoft Windows operating system software (for which this supplement is applicable) (the "software"). You may not use the supplement if you do not have a license for the software. The license terms for the software apply to your use of this supplement. Microsoft provides support services for the supplement as described at www.support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx." Every "eula.rtf" file of each subfolders has the same text "PLEAS NOTE: Microsoft Corp...." but in a different language, even on chinese or japan. Can you tell me how to remove this folders? Is it a virus? Is it a spyware? Are these data from Microsoft after doing some update? I have these folders on two usb harddrives, which cannot be removed by me because some process blocks it. I have WIN XP Service Pack 3. Please help me Netman
From: Jeff Strickland on 9 Mar 2010 17:07 EULA means End User License Agreement, the numbered folders are the various languages, English is 1033 if my memory serves me properly. The folders came from the installation of Microsoft Office. You could delete all of them and not recover enough space to change anything, so my suggestion is to leave them alone. They are not a virus and don't do anything by being there. I suppose you could delete them if you need to, but if deleting them makes a difference, you probably have other far more serious issues.
