   Download: INetCache

   INetCache downloaders typically store files in a randomly-named folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE, having added [1] or a higher number between the file's name and its extension.
   If you downloaded a file named XYZ.exe, the full path of the downloaded file can be obtained by executing the following command:
   cmd.exe /c "where /r %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache XYZ*"
