Temporary Internet Files P_ _ _es*!@ me Off

Hi My name is Shawn and this is my first thread ever on this site. Just feeling it out. I work at GA Photonics as a Junior PC Tech.


The temporary internet files folder really ****es me off, how does it work?

I moved the folder from its default location and on to my spare drive, so its D:\Temporary Internet Files. When I clean the folder out using Internet Options, it works fine, but when I check it in Explorer, the cookies are still there which is fine since I didn't click delete cookies and there are no other files showing. But when I right click the folder it says 12 megs are being used and I have show hidden files on and show protected OS files on as well. So what is going on there?

I am asking since Norton caught a virus but couldn't delete it since it was in the Temporary Internet Files folder, under a long path name, I can't seem to dig it out myself either, unless I type it in a command prompt or something.
