What is the purpose of the c:\binaries folder on my computer

I have a binaries folder in the root of c. There are two files in it. soapvdir.cmd and _svdir.vbs. I am not sure what it is doing there or if it is a good or bad app. I will include the contents of the _svdir file. the soap file calls that script.
