Every time I see McAfee Virus Scan installing an update, I lose a LOT of available disk space. This last one, yesterday, chewed up about 400 MB. Over the last two or three months, nearly 6 GB has gone away. I haven't installed any new applications, and have probably only saved 500 MB or so of appication data. Recycle Bin is empty.
Is there something I can delete to recover this space? If so, where is it?

Thanks for the reply, Jai.
I cleared all the temp files as you suggested, the same day you replied.
Disk capacity is roughly 80GB
RAM is 1GB
Operating system is XP Pro, Service Pack 3
Original purchase of McAfee was in 2004 and I don't remember where from. All subsequent updates have been online from McAfee's web site.
Security Center is 11.0.623
Virus Scan is 15.0.291
I don't use McAfee firewall. I have Zone Alarm.
McAfee has updated twice since my original post. I have lost over 1GB in that very short time, despite barely using the computer, other than updating my bills on Quicken. Last night's McAfee update used up 300MB.
