MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / September 2005What creates these files?
For less than one full day, both NAV and AVG indicated that files that are constantly created in "C:/Documents and settings/<user>/Local settings/Temp" with names "CC*.tmp" (they appear to be named using hexadecimal notation of a byte) have the Netsky.P or .Q worms. Is this NAV/NIS creating these files as a result of using MS Outlook, and why would the files have an old worm? Investigating how these worms work shows that the system does not appear to be infected with these worms. But the "CC*.tmp" files are always being recreated. Any suggestions how to eliminate the problem? Kevin do you use outlook express? Outlook doesn't create files in that folder - it uses a subfolder. NAV could be doing it as it scans incoming email.

There are no subfolders in "<user>/Local settings/Temp", but I imagine MS Outlook would use a folder somewhere in "Local settings". For further information, warning messages from AVG and NAV only now appear when I access that folder/files to try to solve the problem. Maybe there's no real problem after all. But if NAV/NIS is creating those files, then why would it be creating them with an apparent security flaw? I will copy my original post with this post onto the Security discussion group. Many thanks for your effort in responding to my post. > do you use outlook express? Outlook doesn't create files in that folder - it > uses a subfolder.
