altnet
My Macafee Virus Scan keeps revealing several "unused program files" in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Altnet\*.dll and other altnet files with *.cab and *.exe extensions. They cannot be deleted, quarantined or cleaned by Macafee. Macafee suggested that if I want to get rid of them, that I should uninstall them manually.
From the best of my research, Altnet programs appear to be needed to speed up the downloads for Kazaa which I don't have. I have no desire to keep these files and would like to delete them if I can. However, I thought I would check here first before I start dumping what may be critical program files. Please advise.

Nothing that lives in a TEMP file is critical. Feel free to delete them if you can.
You might like to try Pocket Killbox:

Unzip or Extract the .exe file to your desktop. Then Open it and where it says Full Path of File to Delete, type in:
