This folder recently appeared on my C: drive. It contains a single file ($VAULT). What is this and what program put it there?
I've tried to delete it, but it says only an Administrator cand delete the folder or file. It's my personal computer, and I am listed as an administrator on this machine.
I've also opened the command processor as an administrator and tried deleting it that way, with the same results.
Can you help?

Do you use Avast anti-virus? Your anti-virus software may be using this as a place to hold files it believes are infected.
