Re: 100s of microsoft files and don't know how to get rid of them

I assume you're referring to an anti-spyware application: Which one (e.g., Windows Defender; Ad-Aware; Spybot; CounterSpy; SpySweeper)?

Hi Map,

They are a problem. When running scans, scans run forever as are checking
every one of those files.

Hi, there are files in my system, which must number close to 1000,

I noticed them first when spyware scanner was scanning this area for
about
an hour, that's how many there are.

Here is one of them and they all look the same, just different
numbers.

08E84DB0-66CF-4546-B510-8A6B12D9BF8B.WindowsLiveContact

If is related to windows live, I dont' know what that is, never
downloaded anything to do with it. Microsoft or hotmail said i had
to have a live.com email so i got one and that was months back and
since then, appears when junk was tossed on system, though not sure.

Can someone direct me which forum to go to to get help with finding
out what these files are and how to get rid of them?

I have maybe 15 people in my msn im for addresses and im just 3 or so
people total. No clue if is related to above.

Thanks for your help!
