Rogue executable in C:\windows\temp

[PhilliePhan]

As always, thank you Judy and PP for your continued and unrelenting help with this.

We are happy to try to help

Obviously there is some "parent" program that is creating these .exes in the TEMP folder. The thing is, if this were a malware program behind the temp .exes, it ought to show in the ComboFox log - very likely as a recent addition. The fact that nothing obvious stands out leads me to believe it to be bundled with a legitimate app.

-- You might consider installing Process Explorer ( I use it instead of Task Manager) and use it to investigate the random running process a bit further.

*** Judy will be gone over the weekend - I am here off and on these days as time permits, but will try to follow up as best I can. I really do not think this is any sort of major problem calling for drastic action - just a real PITA to track the source of the adware!

Best
