My Cookie Folder, Temporary Internet Folder and History
Folder are being COPIED into my TEMP Folder by a hidden
malicious program. SpyBot and Adaware do not see it. My
settings in IE properties are set as 0, 0, and it still
shows up. How do I find this program and prevent it return?

Also, on another note BHO's and CWS's are getting to be a
real problem you'd think MIRCOSOFT would make an update to
prevent this. Oh yeah forgot this IS mircosoft, sorry.

MAKE THESE UPDATE TO PREVET THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This happens to me on occasion too; however I see no reason to believe this is the work of spyware.
For one, the copies made on my system are always empty except for an index file; and on yours if you
have set no cache or History then nothing exists to get copied anywhere in the first place. So how
did you jump to the malware conclusion? It's a bit irritating to have stuff clogging up the Temp
folder, I agree.

BTW why would you want a 0 size webcache? It exists to make browsing faster.

Care to fill us in on what your last paragraph means/wants?
