| I just built a new machine. Upon getting the latest windows updates, a few flders showed up on my C: drive. The folders are 3d49c3a855152014c4af19dc3ae49f19, ae0e4b514222cc55568a479b5343e3, and ee28c55a9. I'm running WinXP Pro. Each folder contains the same thing, a folder named sp2. Which contains an executable named update. Is this a legit update from Microsoft? Should I execute the update, delete the folders, or do nothing at all? Thanks for any help easing my paranoid head.  -Mac

| yes, folders like that showed up on my hard drive while updating, they were MS files, and seemed to be temporary in nature.
on my computer the updater tossed them on the last disk. i deleted them, and it caused no problems at all. i think they would have been cleaned up by the rest of the instalation after restart? but mabey it was because i have some services disabled, so it couldn't.
if you didnt get the "update success" thing when you finished, you probably wouldnt want to run the update from them folders, but instead to run it from the original update executable, if it didnt finish something else might not have completed also. chances are good that the update is done, just not the final cleanup of those temp folders.
OK, so i am Guessing, but i try hard  |
