I have had a 6 mo. ongoing problem with something creating exactly 65,536 (each time) temp. files, in the Windows Temp folder:
They are listed as: TMP994A.tmp. 9/29/2011 9:28pm TMP File 0 KB and progress numerically and alphabetically. It appears to be on a timer, as it can be 2 wks. without loading, sometimes a few days, and recently it reloads soon after I delete them. It takes about 10 mins. to delete them & empty the recycle bin in Safe Mode, doing it on the desktop can take 20-30 mins.
I have run Malwarebytes, Norton, varies registry cleaners with no luck catching whatever it is. I have googled it without any direct hits as to what it might be. Some suggest a program of some sort doing it. My Windows startup started taking 2-3 mins. after this started. I am at wits end and may just go ahead with a clean & install, but I dread the drudgery of reloading programs etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
