Please do not worry as this is not a sign of virus, it is just a temporary file to backup your files that you are creating. It is really ok. I assume that this happens when you are using microsoft office programs. The files will dissapear when you have saved them and close the windows as it is no longer in use. Dun worry bout it ok.

no, thats the way word works, thsi file is the way microsoft saves ur unsaved work in the case power failure, if u have t recover the file that was nt saved , u can open this file when u turn on the computer, this file wont disappear in case of a power failure.

This is not virus it was temporary file if you not saved it properly or the word automatically saves for each 5 minutes., so dont afraid its just temporary file ok.

hi, Yeah, you got a virus or adware with your word. perhaps you can try norton or Macfee, or spyware doctore to remove the spyware, these three software all need a fee to use..
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox cannot remove the spyware, but it can disable this spyware to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

virus scan. or you can do this click on start, go into my computer locate the control panel, and click on maintenance and go to system restore and restore your computer back to a later date that should fix your problem. In the future try a different virus program. I use norton

don't worry...its just a temporary file that windows creates (its usually hidden, but if you show hidden files, you can see it). It's just there so that there is a backup of the file, incase you edit it, and decide not to save the changes.

download AVG and run it.
AVG is the best anti - virus program out there, and is the free version of it will pick it right up if indeed it is a virus.
Sounds like it might be, I've never heard of that before.
Good luck fixing it.
