I'm seeing strange folders pop up in my C: drive. One of them is named
"0897a11708897a2f27". The others are named similarly. There are three of
them. Anyone know what these might be from?

There are no harm from this folder, what you see is the text for the
installation of the latest secuirty for MSXML4.0 or MSXML 6.0
MSXML4.0 is:
is a Microsoft core services is a set of services that allow another
application to run on your computer and perform and act as a parser to some
XML codes for some games websites and applications running on your compute or
from CD/DVD.
Such application written in different languages (code) like Jscript,
Microsoft Visual Studio, XMl based applications also support other
application in other languages code.
Open Help and support on your computer and type in MSXML and you will get
more info about.

You can safely delete this folder only this not the folder for MSXML4.0,or 60
C:\3b16041bab1d5e6831c0a4ef delete this I think about 285 KB or more I can't
remember I did delete from my machine.
HTH.
