What are these files?

Hi All,

My File Integrity Monitoring Software (FIM)  keeps tagging these files:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Temp\{A4F368DA-C5FB-4140-851F-A58B22DB8436}

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Temp\{49A52BB7-FCF8-4F4C-9954-8089A4083CC2}

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Temp\{7AF47549-D465-43B8-BC1D-39AD64D48260}

What are they and are they friend or foe?

Many thanks,

-T

    Flash Player installer creates that directory during installation, and deletes it when installation is finished.  There was a bug about a year ago where these directories weren't being removed when the installation completed.  You can safely delete these directories.

    I see them created and I see them removed.  I wanted to make sure they where not malicious.  Thank you!
