Maurice Naggar Posted February 16, 2020 ID:1362821 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi. The file that ESET has tagged is a .TMP file That is one name used for TEMPORARY work files. You can have ESET delete the temporary file named NSADF14.TMP NO, it is not any "government file". You need to look at the full name of the temporary file. It is just a coincidence that the 1st 3 characters are what they are. ESET flagged this as a P U P ( potential unwanted application). But it is a TEMPORARY file. all temporary files are fair game for outright deletion. . [ A ] Show all folders/files What follows is a first step to have Windows 10 show all files and folder. Do not let this spook you out. There is a how-to at Tenforums. Use either option one or two or threehttps://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7078-turn-off-show-all-folders-windows-10-navigation-pane.html [ B ] Get to a Elevated Command-prompt window: If your pc runs on Windows 7 or 8, see https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html Otherwise, for Windows 10 Select the Windows key and X key together, from the xmenu select Command Prompt (Admin) [ C ] Then COPY the entire following line ( as is ) and then Paste it onto the Coomand prompt del /s /q C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\temp\*.* then tap the Enter-key. Close the command-prompt-window when all done. Let me know how this goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
