My AVG keeps finding Trogans/viruses in TemporaryInternetFiles\IE5
I use IE6 (if IE means Internet Explorer) How do I find/delete IE5 to prevent these viruses etc. from downloading?

nettie, Just go into Internet Options>General tab, click the Delete Files button and when the small pop-up box appears checkmark "Delete all offline content" then click OK. Even though XP uses IE6 the folder name is IE5. It's one of Microsoft's better ideas. LOL.
