    Win2K Q

    In the WinNT folder I have a Cache32 folder. Do everyone have that? When I open up KaZaA my Norton antivirus app tells me that it is a **** load of trojans there...When I looked at the folder, I saw 30-40 self extracting files. Do you think I can delete them? Is it safe? BTW what is that folder used for anyway?

    No such folder on my system 2k/xp dual boot. Quarantine them with Norton and see what happens. I would delete them and be done with it.
    PC performance buffs have long measured hardware advances using a few simple metrics: Is it faster? Is it bigger? Does it have more blinky lights?

    they're 99% likely to be viruses attempting to masquearade as a "legitimate" bunch of files.

    purge them.
