    best get CCleaner from filehippo, it will clean up all trhis sort of temp file rubbish from your system...run it before you run avg and you won't get this..(and it's a cracking little prog to use :)

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ click download latest version, top right :)
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
