tmp-Files

[DasMalzbier]

I'm not sure if it's a maleware, but I'm kinda getting annoyed by it and it was once found by Malewarebytes. So I think you can call it a maleware. But the thing is: it's in the Folder

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Secure\Icons. If you delete it, it just appears again. And you get sometimes an error message, saying that the file you deleted was not found (but you can keep doing your buisness without any interruptions). But if it's installed again, my !avast (Programm) tell me that they blocked this file, saying it's a Virus. When you run your Pc 8 hours straight, the message of !avast appears 1-3 times. And the file always changes it's name (like tmp323, later tmp142), but not it's location. I googled fpr help, but with no real results. And since it's in the microsoft folder, it must have a function. Looking forward for any help. Maybe I'm just doing something really wrong^^

Thank you for answering, I'll try again tomorrow. The first time I followed your guide, I suddenly got a new maleware, changing my Firefox Homepage and settings. I found a similar forum to that problem too, but because I already downloaded new programms and still had opend the programms recommended by you, I decided to make a system restore. The frist time I did it, the Pc just shut down itself after 1 minute, but after the secound try I immediately opend malewarebytes, stopping the maleware to shut down my pc and destroying my firefox data (I would have lost all my tabs gained over a few months). So now, we're almost back to zero. With the eception that I deleted utorrent and the pirated games (yes, I did read the pirat warning). Seems like the programm itself caused me most of the problems. It was hard enough to find the .exe, but I deleted it. But it's still stuck on my uninstall list... with spyware 4 (maleware too). Not that these programms still exist, but they are stuck on this list, and if I try to uninstall them, it just shows an error. Not that much of a problem though. And 1 more Question: I did (today) run malewarebytes, and it showed up with no results. I checked my folder (mircosoft/secure/icons), and the TBP File was still there. I looked up !avast!, and the last "delete" prozess was 3 days ago. Now I'm rather unsure if I should still run the reset, because of my fear of loosing data. I don't have a big enough USB/extern harddrive where I can save all my data. Any tipps?

The links I supplied are very safe, they are used many times on a daily basis without issue. Regarding back ups, I give the advice and the instruction, I cannot supply the required media....
