You're probably right about the AV program. I've never used CA, so that's
not the one creating the files on my machine. I could also be mistaken
about the creator being ZA or S/M, but it is one of the utility-type
programs that runs at startup. Some time back, probably a year or more, I
went through the process of stopping each start-up program and was able to
stop those ~DF* files, but I remember needing the utility and decided the
temp files didn't create a problem.


Hi Cooter
So you are one of those who has this %temp% growing on bootup/switch-on -
have you let it build-up to see if Disk Cleaner does remove any of the
folders or files.
If you are, would you mind letting it grow for a couple of weeks and then
try *** Cleanup, and let me know, back here.
I dont know how much of this thread and my other you have read, but the
strange thing now with my %temp% is that there are never more than two items
after boot/start, and when I switch off and on again, there are one or two
new ones???
So I cannot get a build up test with Disk Cleaner.
I had left it alone for nearly a month and knew there were 300-400 items in
there. Well that was until three days before the Sept Black Tuesday
updates, which was the last time I looked.
Then two days after the updates, I went in to clean it and they had all gone
bar one.
I cannot find anything in those last updates that might explain this.
No one seems to know how/why/what happened.
