    from the Combofix log:-

    2010-07-21 12:07 . 2010-07-21 12:07
    d
    w- c:\program files\McAfee.com
    2010-07-21 12:07 . 2010-07-22 07:00
    d
    w- c:\program files\McAfee
    2010-07-21 11:46 . 2010-07-21 15:11
    d
    w- c:\programdata\McAfee

    Might be an idea to run the McCrapafee removal tool, just to be sure...these sort of hangovers can cause problems, even when "most" of the product has been removed.

    gotta be honest, not sure. However, these entries were from the recently created files section of the log - look at the dates, they shouldn't be there :(

    will have to have another root aroung bleepingcomputer for that explaination
