Well yes, but this isn't the way it's being presented. It is being
presented as a solution to malware. That's what I don't
buy. Ignoring the fact that running apps can't be deleted by
Windows, thus negating any value in clearing temp files, as the
running malware that is based there wouldn't be removed, you're still
stuck with the fact that any malware write worth his salt is storing
his programs in non-temp folders.
