[QUOTE="Kroum, post: 514842, member: 53157"] Hi TwinHeadedEagle, I am writing this to inform you that my problem seems to be fixed, but I don’t know what fixed it. At some point, I gave up and stopped checking C:\Windows\Temp directory. Now, I checked it again and found that my computer is not creating those folders any more. The last one was created on June 07 at 4:50 PM. In search for what fixed the problem, I checked what was done before that. [LIST] [*]At 3:59 I reported to you that I uninstalled AVG software and left only one antivirus software (Microsoft Security Essentials) as you strongly suggested. It seems, this didn’t fix the problem, because the computer has created 3 more folders after that (at 4:04PM, 4:27PM and 4:50PM). But I noticed that the last folder (the one, created at 4:50PM) was different. Its name was like the others, but it contained only 2 folders and 4 files at total of 1.32MB, instead of the usual 13 folders and 70 files at total of 102MB. [*]I cannot recall what exactly I did after 4:27PM, but I know, I did at one point one full scan using Microsoft Security Essentials and the report was that my computer is clean. I cannot say however if this scan was done before 4:50PM or later. It could be even several hours later that 4:50PM. I don’t recall doing anything different since than. I was just searching and reading on Internet in a hope to find a solution for my problem. [/LIST] I have not used Zemana AntiMalware and ZOEK yet, but I will, if the problem reappear. Thank you very much for the time, you spent on my problem. Kroum [/QUOTE]
