  Why should I remove temporary files

A cache (folder with the temporary files) is a place to store something more or less temporarily. For instance, when you visit a web page, it will be stored in your browser's cache directory on your hard disk. This is done in order to speed up repeated access to the same website.

If you download something from a website and it contains an infected file, this file will also be stored in your cache on your hard disk drive. This is why we recommend that you delete all temporary Internet files or temporary system files periodically.
