    Good day.. I have a cust who brought in a machine I had just fixed a week ago, now totally infected. Found and removed the major offender. e-acceleration.
    When I bootup, 1/2 the screen stays white background, looking like a page not found error in IE. I ran Adaware and Spybot in safe mode. Ran Avast in preboot with system restore turned off. Still getting the white screen crud.
    So, I have placed her hard drive on a test machine and run Avast anti-virus on it. I was searching to find any pix for her so I can seve them, as I told customer a slick/reload is best bet. Found the folder called E:\MCAF868.tmp. Unable to see what this program is. Any thoughts???
    Did a Google search, your forum came up. Hope someone can help.

    Thanks.....

    chaslang... yes I believe it had at one point been installed. Though because the file name was off by just enough, I was not sure if it was something masquerading as McAfee. Some malware creators can be quite creative!
    Many thanks for the feedback..

    You're welcome. You should just be able to delete that folder.
