    Not sure what this is, but I found it in a temp file. There was also a report from a house call scan I did, that was appearently surpressed into the temp file too. When I did the scan, I never seen the house call report. Not sure if there is a limit on posting size so I will add it into another post. But here is the most important thing. Anyone know if this is a virus, worm, or hacker?

    Timbers, I'm assuming you mean that you found these things in a Temp FOLDER, either in Windows\Temp or in Username\Local Settings\Temp. They are trash left over from some sort of update or installation that looks as though it failed.

    In any case, here's what you do:

    Set up a new folder on C: and call it AATemp, so it will be at the top of an Explorer listing of what's in C:.
    Move the funny files from the Temp folder to C:\AATemp.
    Compute normally for 24 hours.
    If all is well, DELETE 'em.
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Delete AATemp.

    There shd never be anything in your Temp folders that's important, unless you're in the middle of an installation or hard at work on a current project. If you've finished installing everything, saved your work, closed your programs, and rebooted, anything left in Temp with a date older than today is disposable.

    Keep your Temp folders cleaned out, and your computer will thank you for it.

    Wisewiz and xflat Thanks. I will do that. Funny, usually I manually remove clutter from the temp file, but this is the first time I ever ran into something like this. The scan disk log, is in the windows file menu. Seems there is lots of stuff cropping up all over. Still having lot of the cranking noise going on. Still searching for the reason.

    I have only reformatted this thing once in the past 2 years, does anyone know where I can get some reading material incase I have to do it again?
