What is %TEMP%\_av_sfx.tm~a99999\

While looking for the avast5 folder for something unrelated, I saw 4 of these folders here:

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\

They seem to contain mostly vpx files with ais_dll_… in the name and have some fairly old modified dates…

What are they?

Not really bothered about it, just curious, not having seen these before :wink:

Ah, ok. Should they not have been deleted when the setup is complete then?
