Hello, I was wondering when I do a virus scan, my computer always seems to take a stone age scanning throught the content.ie5 folder in the temporary files.

So, is there a way to delete these files periodically so it will speed up the scan, or is this not possible?

All help much appreciated.

Thanks, Sammo.

Sure, the best way to handle this is:

1) In Internet Explorer - go to Tools > Internet Options > Browsing History > Settings. Make the amount of space available to IE Temp files 50mb (or lower) - that way IE will overwrite the cache.

2) Prior to running your scan go to Internet Explorer - go to Tools > Internet Options > Browsing History > Delete > Delete ALL. - This will empty your IE cache so there will be nothing for your AV scan to check.
