So lately I have had an issue.... for some reason, a shit ton of TMP files are being generated on my system.

They all start with DMI followed by random number/letter combos and a .TMP

DMI3FN6.TMP for example.

- Virus scans do not tun up anything
- System startup apps are normal
- Have not installed anything new/odd of late

This is a Windows 8 system that has been running flawlessly for months now. The problem is that these files are slowing my system to a crawl. I just ran CCLeaner and it found 37000+ of these files and they keep multiplying.

Anyone heard of this?

Somehow related to porn I guess. Do you watch a lot of it?

Would "not on this computer" be the safe answer? lol

Seriously though, no.

 

[Übermatik]

Yep, it's porn.

Regardless of how it got here...how do I fix it lol

 

[Veins]

More porn.

Are they all in the same location? Or just randomly appearing?

 

[Stuggernaut]

All in the same location.

Windows/Temp folder

All starting with DMI

Ccleaner works well for cleaning garbage/tmp files and old system restore backups.

Do you have Java installed?

 

[Stuggernaut]

I managed to get the files off and they stopped repopulating (still no idea what happened) for now.

Was wondering what the "java" thought may have been?

I do have Java on here I believe.
