XP's Prefetch Folder
Posted by maria on October 30th, 2005


Does anyone know what the pumscm.exe file is in the prefetch folder. McAfee
keeps listing this as a file to be deleted or quarantened but is unable to.
What should I do?

Hi,

Go into the prefetch folder yourself and delete it. It is not a system file,
and is likely part of a virus or other unwanted malware.

Rename or kill it.
