What is this folder named "fc26a353b79895bbf1d094259db6f4c7"?????
What on earth is this folder named fc26a353b79895bbf1d094259d b6f4c7 off the root that is time and date stamped a few years after I got my computer (meaning it's not some weird system thing that came already installed on it.)
The folder has 4 or 5 subfolders and contains executable files named conman.exe and mstsc16d.exe. The conman file especially has me worried.
It has a subfolder called "lang" which has another subfolder under it named "jpn."
Is it possible I downloaded one of those foreign language packs once while surfing the net? I always click cancel when I am prompted to do so (while reading foreign newspapers on the net) Or is it something else?
Should I worry, and is there any way to find out what this stuff is?
Thank you

You may want to check for virus , spyware in the system but i donot think mstcsc16d.exe is also a problem here

Not only service packs, but hotfixes and updates may left such folders in some cases.
Doesn't sound too threatening to me...probably, as you said, some old software package...
