I uninstalled avast 9.0.2013 and reinstalled avast 8.0.1497.
I ran a Full Scan and got the same results.

Are the contents of that C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder still necessary?
As I mentioned, I barely installed SP3 yesterday morning. So, it’s possible that what’s in that folder is related to that.

Wouldn’t the SP3 nitty gritty already have been installed wherever it’s needed?
CAN the contents of that C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder be deleted now?
Or they still have to be in there?
