Symantec Corporate Antivirus detected W32.Fujacks!html in Virus in
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\tmp.edb.

What is this folder? I read it's related with Windows Update. If so: why did
it detected a virus there?
Can I erase the contents of C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\?

Thanks a lot
