    Those are usually just uninstall directories that don't get removed. they're empty, right? You can safely delete them, but they aren't viruses.

    It is not a virus, it is hard to explain but it isn't, just some data used by programs. I'm pretty sure it is inside a folder thats inside appdata, not on appdata. Unless is causing you problems, it isn't a virus.

    or

    McAfee
