What is the purpose of the files in %\Windows\Internet Logs

[Uncle John]

A defrag analysis alerted me to the fact that a huge number of old
files of the type ZA*.txt, msn.dmp.zip had accumulated in the folder
Windows\Internet Logs. The total was 640 MB.

ZoneAlarm Security suite must be the producer of the first type. Probably
MSN download manager is the cause of the second.
I have deleted the older ones; can they be cleaned out automatically?

Hi Uncle John


Here is some information on this regarding the ZA files. Seems a similar
question:

Hi Jan Il

I think that it is just a piece of sloppy software by ZA. I have deleted all
the old files and added the folder/file types to my scheduled junk cleaner
