Dear All
I am running Windows XP, service pack 2 with onecare.
On investigating why my machine has run out of space I found that my
windiws\temp folder was filling up with mysterious folders labelled
zf????.tmp. A new folder is created every 3-4 days.
Is this a virus or some sort of malware?
thanks

Have you scanned your system for bad stuff (viruses, *wares etc)?
