Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.
In addition, install Ad-Aware 6 free edition, start it, click its 'Check for Updates' link in the app to install updates, then use it to scan your system, and remove what it finds.

Post by t***@discussions.microsoft.comHi,
I've been checking into the Temp file situation and I can
As far as I can tell all of the files are in the Windows
Temp folder and all have the .tmp extension. Most of the
names have the exact same format which is Wk_****.tmp
where the **** is some combination of numbers and letters.
The majority contain 3 numbers and one letter eg.
Wk_151b.tmp but some have 4 numbers and others have 2
numbers and 2 letters. When I leave the windows temp
folder opened I can watch the files being added and it
seems that there may be a pattern whereby the temp files
seem to have sucessive letters of the alphabet going from
a to f in successive files eg. Wk_43a5.tmp, Wk_242b.tmp,
Wk_34c5.tmp, Wk_1d31.tmp etc. The pattern does not hold
absolutely but it gives the impression of some
alphabetical sequencing. Also, I cannot see any set
pattern as to where the numbers and letters fall within
the **** sequence.
As for what is running in the background the list is as
follows: Creative launcher, Explorer, Hpzstatx, Hpzstcol,
Medindet, Swtray, osa, exe, win32us, Ctnotify, Qttask,
systray, wsloader, Hpztsb01, Ahqtb, Qwdlls, Imgicon. I
hope that you can see something in all of this and perhaps
can help me. Thanks in advance!

In what folder are these files being created?
Give an example of on of the typical files' names,
including the file extension.
What is running in the background when they are being
made?
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and post back with what is listed
there, along with the answers to the other questions.
