New to this forum and am not super savvy when it comes to SW like Spybot. I use it regularly and have noticed that when I fire it up I get a pop-up box that tells me I have X number of "files in use" -- the number keeps growing and is over 800 now. I did a search in this forum and found a discussion from 2008 about removing temp files, but I don't want to remove files that could harm the operation of the computer (!). I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows 7 OS and Intel Pentium. I run the Spybot update and scan about 99% of the time after being online.
When I do check my Task Manager, nothing appears when that "files in use" message is showing, except what appear to be files that allow the computer to function, but because the number of files in use keeps growing, I'm worried some folder somewhere is getting filled up with something I should clear out....
Or should I ignore that little message as I have been?
Thanks so much for any help!
