O.P. What are all these files for? /Ignored
I was running a spyware scan and noticed that there was a huge amount of files in c:\documents and settings\Jim\contacts\*Username*@msn.com

The *username* is actual contacts I have in my contacts list, but I did not want to type any if the addies here.

There is only 7 of my contacts listed in this directory. I have many more, but only these are present here in this directory.

This contacts directory also has a sub-directory named \Ignored, which is also filled with files.

What are there files for? They are listed as WINDOWSLIVECONTACT File.

Can I delete these files?

There is about 20megs of them on my system and it takes spyware scanning a long time to search through them... It seems never ending.

TIA
