tmp files in Fonts

[Guest Norman]

I have never experience this before and wonder if someone know why. I search

for tmp files and folders and find several in the fonts folder. But what is

confusing is that if I open the fonts folder, they are not shown.

Check your system for unwelcome and unwanted guests. Some recent malware

installs itself in and uses the Fonts folder.

Thanks Mike,

I ran AdAware and Spybot, nothing found.

 

I did that search again and they have now stopped showing up there. Best

guess is that I had something going on that I decided to run a restore.

Maybe I had what you suggest and the restore killed it.

If they start showing up in the fonts folder via tmp search again I'll post

back.

Thanks again,

Norman
