Ahh, it's a special folder. If you look at it from the command
prompt, you'll be able to see the contents:
H:\>dir "e:\documents and settings\scott 2\local settings" /a /b
Application Data
desktop.ini
History
index.dat
Temp
Temporary Internet Files

(888 files listed, sucking up 11 megs)

If you were able to get into the folder, you could have seen when the
file was created, which would have been when you received it. If you
can restore the file from quarantine you can check it, and/or you can
see if AVG will tell you the date/time of the file.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
