I was looking in my C drive for an installation that installed itself which I missed of course.It was ''Instaleshield update manager'',I did eventually got rid of,But came across at the top of the folders list in program files a folder it just had a long string of numbers and letters.
can someone please tell me what that folder is?

Folder :: 31656aa51bc6d69c333c

Many thanks in advance.

I have no idea. BUT, you may want to run a virus scan and download/run malwarebytes just to be safe.

Thanks for reply,Have done all that & nothing found.
Thanks.

What's inside the folder?

I'm pretty sure your computer was trying to install the .net framework.

So would it be okay to delete that folder?.
Thanks for your concern.

I don't see why not. It was an installation folder.

BUT, I would first rename the folder to something like "trashthis". See if you have any problems. You shouldn't. If things are smooth for a few days, then delete it.

Thanks Once again.
As a matter of interest what part of the world are you?.I'm in south wales UK.maybe its nice to know where the help is coming from.
Anyway,Many thanks,Will follow your idea.

Update,Went to rename the folder and this box popped up.



Sorry to be a pain.
