When you need to create some temporary files, you can create them in %TEMP%. If you don’t delete them yourself, some other program or the user will, since the directory defined in %TEMP% is meant to store TEMPORARY files.

Now read this post about the Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server beta 2 setup. Tell me they are not seriously blaming the anti-virus software for deleting files from %TEMP%? Guys, this is Microsoft not knowing where %TEMP% is for. How f*cked up is that? Any decent installation program that needs a reboot creates a folder somewhere on C:, and deletes this folder after the reboot is done and the installation has completed. Not Microsoft: please disable your Antivirus software if you’re going to install TFS. This is seriously wrong. I sure hope they will have their act together before the “release”.
