I have never installed the sqlite database, do not know how it got

"sqlite_gibberish" with no extension, as well as files of the form
"ver1a.tmp, ver1b.tmp, ver2a.tmp", etc. Plus my virus update notifier is
getting very active, telling me every couple of minutes that my software has
been updated.
When this first started last week, I decided to reformat the disk and
reinstall the O/S, especially since it just came back from a repair shop.
But it started again, and so there must be something I am using to invoke
this, probably from the web. I am running Win XP SP2, have AOL and AOL
Security Center with McAfee
Can anyone give me any clue on how this started and how to make it stop?
Thanks!

Bill,
I found another thread with similar problems being discussed.

I think you have a DOS program that is using temporary files that are
not being deleted properly. The question is, which program?
Also there is no sense attaching one of the sqlite_gibberish files if
its size is zero bytes.
