Answer 1

I assume you use windows XP
>Try to look at your startup folder on startmenu. (Start -> Startup) if there an item match to Temp2.exe delete it.

>Open Registry and search for Temp2.exe. If anything found delete it. Possoble location is
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software\Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
Try to look at each of it and delete it if you find it.
On case Winlogon if the key are on Shell or Userinit dont delete it! or your OS will stop working. If you find it on those key fill it with the original value (just double click on it to change the value)
The default value for Shell is Explorer.exe
The default value for Userini is C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
(comma included)

> Open explorer and go to Folder Option (Tools-> Folder Opton) Go to view tab then choose show hidden files and folder and uncheck Hide protected operating system files..
then clikc OK
Search for Temp2.exe and delet it if you find it
Good luck!
