Cleaning out my system yesterday I had a look in my Temp Folder in XP Pro and there was over 300 files. 99% of them were simmilar files called ~DF98C0, ~DFDFFA, ~DF251F, ~DFC5C4 etc, etc, besides starting with ~DF there is no pattern to the names.

Opening them with Notepad gives me a load of code but with no clue to any certain app, there all small in size the largest I could find was 512kb. I tried to delete all of them but I have 6 left that are "being used by another person etc".

Just looked again now and there are another 10 already in about 12 hours.

Im just curious to what app is creating them and what for?

Norton AV or PF maybe? Some sort of Spyware?

Thanks for your time
:)

Windows created them. They can be deleted after a restart. This is normal.

Find something else to do. :p
