Computer Question

Have any of you ever heard of spunist, i found it on my computer it a folder called like: $UnInstaLL$$? Is that good to have or should I delete it?

Can you tell me what the directory is with this file?

I went to C:/Drive and then to windows and I had like 10 folders of it!

Normally those type of files and folders were created when you had a Windows Update of somekind. It is best to leave them around. Do a anti-virus scan to that directory.. if nothing comes up.. leave them be.

Ok... Thanks a lot man!

I did a search for spunist and discoverd that it means:

SP (Service Pack) + unist (Uninstall)

Seems they were created when you did an update install of SP 1 to SP 2 or just one of the upgrades you do with Windows Updates. They seem to be harmless and it is best to leave them be.

DO NOT DELETE it is an system file dont delete anything in the WINDOWS file

actually jay jay's right... its the service packs uninstall data. Service pack SP1 gives you the option to include uninstaller data when loading it so you can (obviously) uninstall it at a later stage. But SP2 doesnt have this option so everyone who loads SP2 ends up with those. Its a lot of space gone to waste but meh!

Yeah thanks guys.. Now I know NOT to delete it!

still do virus scanning from time to time cuz the WINDOWS folder is where the partys at for worms.
