I do a search for *.tmp as well before rebooting after a scan and delete everything that it comes up with (files before folders). Your system shouldn't have recurrences then.

So you delete every .tmp file? I just did a search and came up with 21 matches. What is a .tmp file? In the attatched picture, are the files that my comp found while searching for .tmp

They all look fairly important to me (except the last one). I just don't want to disable my computer somehow. Sorry for sounding like an internet nOOb, I just don't want my computer to not be able to re-boot.

****. Forgot the pic. Where do these files come from anyway (I'm guessing the program files are put there to assist the program). But the ones I don't recognize I don't know where they come from.
