Hi, everyone. Can someone explain to me what the signficance, if any,
is of files that appear in the Local Settings\Temp subdirectory that
are named bat*.tmp, where the "*" represents any two- to
four-character alphanumeric combination? These files appear in the
temp subdirectory only on occasion after I have downloaded e-mail.
There must be nothing in these files, since the size is "0kb".
Additonally, they only seem to appear when I have received an error
message that reads something like: "ezTrustAntivirus real-time
protection has found that C:\DOCUME~1\USER\LOCALS~1\Temp\bat4D2.tmp
was infected with HTML.MimeExploit virus and has restored the file."
Curiously, when I run a search for the infected file, it does not
appear anywhere on the hard drive. This has happened three times in
the past several days. Can I safely delete all of those .tmp files?
