I read all of the info . (Much of it Greek to me) However, I can't access the files they are Temp files in my C;\ Documents and settings . Searching by entering the names above didn'trget any results. but thanks for the reply.OG

Those are simply random, single-use filenames. As such, you probably will never get a 'hit' on them with a search engine like Google.

You may be able to view what's in the files by opening them with something like Notepad. But, don't be surprised if it appears to be just gibberish.

On line Armor had rated as ABADE5D8 as high risk . I deleted it but it reappears on every scan.
