Take a good look at this image, this image was made by downloading and running EEK.
You have to create the c:\EEK folder in order to run EEK at all. (Or specify a location you wish)
And since you have done exactly that when you did download, extract and then run EEK, this is exactly the reason why that folder is there.
That said i told you that you can remove the folder after you are done.

Kind Regards
Nico

Hi Thanks! Yes I know I can remove it! ESET on line scanner removes it's self with one check mark. Microsoft safety scanner leaves no traces that I'm aware of. I don't like programs extracting on my C:/. I don't remember seeing that option, but it was probably there.
Thanks for your replies! My computer vocabulary leaves a lot to be desired. I'm self taught. No college. When I uninstall a program and use regedit(F3) and SearchEverything, it would be hard for you to find any left overs of that program on my PC.;):rolleyes:
