Downloaded Program Files

I had a look at the DPF folder through 'View Objects? and found 4 entries
damaged. Twoi refer to Symantec which I do not use but may have done an
online scan in the past; the others were fro Microsoft:
Security/controls/sass and the other to do with the the update.

Although I repaired them I wonder why they got damaged. I am pretty certain
I have no viruses at the present.

Then, can I delete the Symanted ones? Directly from the folder, or is it
better through HijackThis?

Thank you

JB

Re: Downloaded Program Files

You can delete them directly, that's what HijackThis would do. If you need them again a
website will just download them again.
