What is this file?

Several months ago, I received the JS. Exception. Exploit. virus. It went into file:C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\GHYFCX6B. NAV was not able to repair, so it was quarantined. It was eventually deleted from quarantine. So all is well. But this particular file, that I identified using SEARCH, appears full of other temporary internet files. Yet, when I delete my temp int files via my browser every night, this, C:\WINDOWS\Temporary InternetFiles\Content.IE5\GHYFCX6B, still remains and still is stuffed with temp int files.

Does anyone have any idea about this file? And should I try and delete?

Thanks HAL 9000. I just deleted. It had 3295 items in it. Needless to say, I was concerned about deleting a file with so many items in it. But I did. I restarted my computer. So far, so good. Out of curiosity: Have you any idea where this file came from and how all of the int. temp. files came to be in same and were not deleted when I deleted int. temp files from my browser?
