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

Should be ***Toggling Off*** will reveal the name/nickname. Toggling 'on' uses the encrypted format mentioned earlier. Sorry, had
the toggle backwards(been a while since I looked and turned off that option).

***Toggling on*** will change the Contact list in Windows Explorer(user
profile\Contacts folder) to reveal the name/nickname field(however you've
it set).

Hi, there are files in my system, which must number close to 1000, and I
need help to know which microsoft forum to ask for help in how to get rid
of these. 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!
casey
